rocketman 176 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 The Beatles made me think about picking up a guitar, Alex Lifeson made me want to learn the guitar. Nothing against The Beatles, but Lifeson just blew me away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grampa 112 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I was born in 1946. In the early 50's there weren't "rock" guitarists and the first guitar I heard was classical. Then later in the 50's came the Great Folk Scare and that did it. Chuck Berry was the first rock guitar I remember. Then the Ventures. By the time the Beatles arrived I was already playing and haven't stopped since. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

abilbay 6 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Ace Freely made me want to play air guitar. AD/DC riffs made me want to play. Slash's solos made me want to play lead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quapman 152 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Nobody,, my parents forced me into an instrument. I chose guitar. Went through about 6 Mel Bay books with a strict teacher. Then quit for several years and picked it up again when I was 20 because my stoner friend could play Wish You Were Here on acoustic. I said, "wow you can play that?" He said "ya I can show you". The rest is history. Â Then I quit again after about 10 or 15 years of playing and I just picked it up again about a year ago. Â So no one instance "made me want to play". It was an evolution and a passion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Safe to say Milo and I have probably forgotten more licks than some guys know LOL. Â I spent the first 6 years of my guitar playing life not learning more than a handful of other musicians riffs because I was more interested in writing my own stuff. It was only after then that I started learning whole songs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hall 125 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Hall... Lonnie is on my list of all time greats...I discovered him in high school... I wore out two of the "Wham of That Memphis Man" albums...turned 'em white as snow!! Â Kaiser Bill - That is great to hear. I go way back with Lonnie M. and the early men of Dodd's, Guys n Dolls, The Precinct and etc. here in greater Cincinnati/ Northern Ky. I should have "done" my guitar lessons better when I had such good teachers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Buxom 96 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 This is something that I always ask people, and its because i suppose it reminds me of when i first wanted to pickup a guitar. For me it was this video of Jimi Hendrix, I saw it on the E channel many years ago, I think i may have been about 8 years old when I saw this. and since then, I've always wanted to play, not only that but it made the 67 V my favorite guitar of all time, of course. I had no idea who this was, or the brand/model guitar was at the time. oddly enough, for christmas 2002, I got my first guitar, a Jay Turser Strat copy  SO, who made you wanna pickup a guitar?!   Hi from Alexandria.
