Re: Who made you first wanna pick up a guitar?

I was hanging at a guy's house I knew casually and one day he strapped on a one-pickup Teisco to an amp with a wah wah in line, I sat still unimpressed, until he wahed that first noted and I jumped off the couch and went "Holy shit !! I gotta do that !!". And 35 guitars later here I am, hooked ever since.....* I need a Kleenex * .... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

My grandma made me want to pick it up, she said,"if you leave that guitar layin' in the floor one more time, I'm throwin' it away." I was about 10 yrs old, and it was an old acoustic.
Years later, when I was about 15, I heard Unchain the Night by Dokken, and Lynch has been the man ever since.
