I started playing guitar at around age 15 just by myself. I met a friend in my chemistry class who taught me about the Beatles. I got super obsessed with them and really wanted to play their songs. Got a guitar and never thought twice about what I should play. It was always , all Beatles all the time. I loved it. I was hooked. That taught me the basic chords, barre chords, some soloing etc. Lots of great songs from beginner to advanced. Then one day, my cousin bought me a discography CD pack of Rush CDs. I heard Fly By Night and I knew I HAD to learn to play it. That resulted in about a five year streak of obsessive Rush disorder. I was again, hooked. Now on more advanced music. I wanted to learn all the songs. I even formed a little tribute band with a few other people. Now, I have a classical guitar sitting next to the couch and I sometimes come and sit and just noodle around. Just enjoy the sounds, the feel of the strings against my fingers, the satisfaction of discovering an assembly of notes to play that sound special. It's been about 15 years now. Not once did I think I needed to learn something on the guitar because somebody told me I had to. I always learned something in pursuit of learning the next song.
