First album I ever owned was Backstreet Boys - Backstreet Boys
First album you ever owned and first band you ever loved.
- Thread starter F117Landers
- Start date
crap.
I can't seem to get my foobar to scrobble with last.fm. plus I hardly use last.fm anyway...only to get recommendations (but lately I've just been coming here). So my last.fm account isn't really the best indicator of my tastes.
I like Nirvana and Oasis though (I think i remeraber you saying you like them)!
check out my most important albums post for a better indication.

Nice!
yeah, my first instructor was pretty cool. Then he quit to play with his band full time in NYC. My second teacher was terrible. I was better than him. his first assignment for me was: write 3 chord songs. I was like "are you kidding?" We did that for a couple weeks. then I switched to a different place with a MUCH better teacher. He was the best i had. We played a lot of floyd and zeppelin. Lots of great solos. Then I stopped around 8th grade I think.
I'm all for taking lessons. I think it's important to get an understanding of theory. But if you can teach yourself and come away with a good command over the instrument, that's awesome!!! I had a friend in high school who taught himself guitar and had only been playing for a little over a year and he was NUTS! some people are just insanely gifted.

Jesus. 8th grade. So you were like 13 or 14 then? I don't do grades. 
I couldn't think of doing anything worse than playing Pink Floyd.
Zeppelin are a different story.
Black Dog and whole lottta love are fun to play.
Mine was alright with the first one he taught me A D C or something
Then I decided I wanted to tackle it again when I was 17
Went to another one and started to learn Smells Like Teen Spirit, then I realised he was teaching me the proper chorRAB instead of the power chorRAB version. He wanted to get me going up and down the fret board, I wanted to play it like Kurt. So that pissed me off. So yeah 4 lessons, the second lesson with the second teacher we parted ways. But they were nice to have for the 4 weeks to speak to and guidance etc. I've been playing a year in June and can read any tab and play, some take more looking at than others so I think I'm doing okay.
how long have you been playing?

how long have you been playing?The first album I ever owned, strictly via it being the first one I ever physically claimed as mine, was a Folsom Prison Blues vinyl with Johnny Cash.
When I was a kid, my uncle gave my parents an old record jukebox that played both recorRAB and 8-tracks, and there were about 20 recorRAB to go with it. I would listen to all the recorRAB and it so happened that I liked the Cash record the most, so I asked my parents if I could have and take care of that record. They let me.
I had that record until my parents became Christians.. then they sold the record player and destroyed all the recorRAB, including mine. During their Christianity stint, I wouldn't own another piece of secular music until their divorce, and it happened to be a cassette of an Epitaph RecorRAB compilation. That's when I started getting into punk.
