Murph Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I was put on stage at the "Surfside" in Clearwater Beach Fla., in 1970 at age 12. Was fronting a band in Apache Jct. Az at age 17, drinking beer and getting $25.00 a night, 3 nights a week. I couldn't quit if I wanted to. I've tried. I just can't...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laney1566 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 It was my destiny and resistance was futile!! I truly fell in love with the Kiss Destroyer albums Side A Detroit Rock City, King of the Night time World, God of Thunder and Do You Love Me. I had to make that sound on my own!! My Dad was a natural Piano player and it seems guitar is the same for me. I just started playing and haven't looked back or taken a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Once you can play a little, it is the quickest and best creative outlet I know of. And that feels good and is satisfying. Oh and guitar players are the coolest people around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxson50 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I love guitar. It drives me crazy. It keeps me sane. It give me peace. It challenges me. And because, I played drums for more then 15 years then I realized, there's a reason why nobody brings drums to a campfire sing-along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I'm more inclined to go along with what Jaxson said. I love guitar. It's a great mental challenge for my creative muse. It certainly keeps me sane, but the volume drives my family insane. Certainly gives me peace of mind and soothes my soul. It's live and die rock-n-roll!

rocketman Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 To be honest with you I started playing because there was a guitar teacher three houses down from my parents. I already played the piano for 5 years (started at 8) so I wanted to do something different. I kept up both but I was always a much better piano player than guitar player. I decided to get back into to music a few years ago to help me relax. I knew that I could never be the same piano player as in my youth because I literally practiced for 6+ hours a day back then. I'd got too frustrated on piano and couldn't relax. But I thought I could become a better guitar player than in my youth. So I'm having fun while (hopefully) getting better.

KSG_Standard Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 There's something about the sound of a guitar that drives me nuts...in a good way. I love the way the guitar sounds in almost every kind of music that there is...I want to make the same noise and I think about it almost all the time.

DPhillips Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Even though I'm probably the worst guitarist on the face of the Earth... I can't imagine not playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G McBride Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I play guitar because I can not draw or paint. I can express myself through my music well enough to make people understand how I feel. Or maybe not. I love to play for nothing but the shear joy of it.

Thermionik Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 . . Ol' Gill came closest:- I love to play for nothing but the sheer joy of it, that and expressing myself through music to make people understand how I feel inside, or possibly not. Only wild women and fast wheels are on a par with that satisfaction. I used to hear Mick singing how he couldn't get no satisfaction. Aaaah. I used to think nope - that's 'cause Keith and Ronny are where it's at..... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I play guitar for the same reason I play sax, wind synth, flute, drums, voice, bass, and keyboards: It's not what I do, it's what I am My earliest memories are playing with musical toys. I tried to get out of music a couple of times, thinking I should be a normal, productive member of society, but it didn't work. I returned to music, there is a nice Mark Murphy song that says it all: "I return to music, surrendering to a song, sweet harmony sets me free, and I'm back where I belong."
