My Dad played guitar and sang as a hobby and was always offering to teach me from an early age, but at that time I was more into skateboarding and going to the beach with my friends. I loved listening to music but I didn’t think I’d pick it up for myself. Then when I was 12 these two brothers moved into my neighborhood and they were both musicians. One played guitar and one played drums, and their parents let them play in the spare bedroom of their house. I went over to hang out one day while they were playing and it was so fantastically loud, I was blown away. That day I went home and asked my dad to teach me to play guitar. So really, it started with me wanting to be in a band and make loud noises. Once I got decent on the guitar and could play a song for the first time I was absolutely hooked. I played guitar in my room for hours and hours a day all through my teenage years and I never looked back from there. If I hadn’t picked it up I’d probably just still be going to the beach, surfing, tending bar somewhere. Or working in archaeology, who knows.
