I got a really small, cheap guitar from my cousin when I was thirteen
or fourteen, and I took a year of guitar in high school, and that's
were I first started learning and playing. At the time, I was into the
Cars and the Cure, punk and new wave, and British music. Everyone else
in my guitar class was into Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath and Jimi
Hendrix. That's all stuff that I've grown to love, but they liked it
before I did. I was like the art fag in the class. But I didn't care, I
just liked learning the guitar.
