Guitar

Ever since i was little i wanted to play guitar. My dad played and he would always let me strum the guitar while he freted the chord when i was 4 or 5. He told me i could keep time when i was 3! i dont believe it but thats what he said. When i was in 5th grade i saved all my birthday and christmas money which was a little over 100 dollars, which i think was alot for a 11 year old on 2001. and i told my dad i wanted a guitar and he was all for it but my mom was trying to talk him out of it because she thought it was a waste of money. HA well i told her it was my money and i wanted to buy what i wanted. So dad and i went and got my first guitar and he taught me all he knew. Then i went to high school and took guitar class and everyone knew me as the freshman who could play really good. I'd walk down the hall and and someone would say who is that? and the person next to them would say thats the new kid that shreds. All this talk made me really stuck up and i'd always show off at lunch in the band room and people would go in there just to watch. At the time i was in a band and we got a show at pops and everyone flipped out that a red bud band got a gig there. Teachers and our friends bought tickets and we actually sold around 85 which is actually really good and we got first call on our time slot. That was a great experience, we played there a few times and other small bars in St. Louis. That band lasted about 2 years then we got mad at eachother and we broke up. I played drums in a band for a year or so with a few close friends and slowly we stopped playing and i got into this new band im in, No Solution and we just took off. its crazy. We have been in the local paper so many times, been on the radio, and even working on recording a full lengh cd.
