Who was the Artist or what was the sound that made you decide you had to try and play guitar, early on I really dug Steve Marriott on Humble Pie's "Smokin," album "Thirty Days in The Hole" was a favorite, but I think it was when a friend turned me on to CSN&Y that really did it particularly Neil Young and Steve Stills contributions on "4 Way Street"
Actually, I think it was a couple of kids from high school who worked up some Neil Young and CSNY and James Taylor, and played them at Friday night socials. All cowboy chords, as I recall, but the girls loved it. I figured, heck, how hard can this be?
Without bothering to learn any Neil or CSNY (I did learn "Horse with No Name"),
Blow by Blow fell into my lap, and it was all over from there.
And I never got any girls from my guitar playing.
62 now, the "getting girls" thing is a few years past the point, now I just want to play some blues and the odd Allman Bros or Eric Clapton song.
