I used to play the Piano when I was young. I enjoyed it and wanted to learn something a bit more cool.
I remember getting my first acoustic guitar for Christmas, must have been when I was about 9. For some reason I thought I would be able to just play it as any guitarists I had seen on the telly made it look so easy.
When I realised I couldn't just play it, it stayed dormant for a year until I was able to take lessons at school!
