There are currently 13, 495 people who would like to learn to play the guitar sometime in their lives. I have done this.

When I was 13 my girlfriends older sister played a (folk) guitar and I loved to go to her house and listen to the music.

Soon, I was asking her to ‘show me some stuff’ on the guitar. I raved about this to my parents for a year, but no luck. No guitar.

Finally, I bought myself a cheap steel string guitar and a book with chords. I taught myself how to play the guitar and began writing my own songs.

For my 15th birthday my parents bought me a brand new guitar. It was beautiful and I still have it. Boy is that instrument old now, LOL!
