I would have been 4! years old in 62..Ladies and Gentleman, rare vintage 1962 @Mitch Pearrow SJMP with his first guitar.
You can see even at a very young age he was already deeply torn between blue collar money-making type work,
and his artful guitar playing. Unfortunately he never quite figured it out
So out of diapers….. for now.
I Vote Yes!
No problem. It's forgettable. Lol
Not really close. Brownsville Station Smoking in the Boys .
Yep. But I did not know any chords obviously to start and had a KISS music book. You couldn't buy a Trooper one and I didn't know how to play so figuring out be ear was impossible. It took me about 4 days after school to learn Dr. It will all come out later when I post. Trooper became a staple after a year or 2 though. Still is.
Cool! That amp is my Yamaha THR100 HD!!Ok, so maybe this is the weekend you finally flip those amps off standby and rock out.
Even your gear is probably weary of the excuses!
Learned from that version too but not until like 1980 or so.
First song I probably played all the way through was around 1978, on my Takamine acoustic with 2 other guys playing in my living room. No clue on what it was. Most likely a John Denver song.FRIENDLY REMINDER TO ALL Y'ALLS
THIS IS NOT A CLOSED FIELD OF PLAY!
Anyone Anyone ANYONE!!!!!! is welcomed to jump in, try a lay-up or two,
and enjoy some fun and musical exercise. You too will also earn points! Probably maybe even
like it enough to keep on, keepin' on! Plus, you can duck out of any main challenge you wish
along the way. But if you start now, my hope is you'll be infected with the fun of being here
to share and enjoy all this time together.
At the very least you may find yourself a tad inspired, and inspire others to also join in!

The first Main Event Challenge #1 "Opening Act" is so super easy! All you gotta do is simply:
1. Tell us what inspired you to first pick up the guitar
2. List the three first songs you "mostly" learned.
3. Share with us a minimum 1:00 musical clip performing one of them.
ELEVEN DAYS REMAIN UNTIL DEADLINE for this round... That's still PLENTY of time for a 1:00 clip
I wanted to design this game for maximum forum member participation. Far more fun to be involved!
The "Opening Act" winner will earn 10 RiffMaster points. 1st / 2nd runners-up, 7 points each.
Anyone else who posts an applicable musical submission of 1:00 or more, earns an automatic 5 points.
The RiffMasters game goes to 100 pts. But let's not make it so much about that, but more about
brotherly forum participation, sharing our enjoyment of music, testing ourselves and putting the gear to work.
Oh, I thought it had to be on guitar.The first song I learned “all the way”
Ok Don, I feel you with the Denver hits, I also admitted that earlier and the other two first songs, and your musical submission is... where?First song I probably played all the way through was around 1978, on my Takamine acoustic with 2 other guys playing in my living room. No clue on what it was. Most likely a John Denver song.
Grade four elementary school. English Country Gardens on a flutophone. Do you really want to hear me play it on a guitar?Oh, I thought it had to be on guitar.
In that case, mine would be third grade, Heart and Soul, on the piano :dood:
Good choice as well. Glam it up. The problem with BCR is thrashers seem to loathe Glam. Not that matters I guess. ZI don't identify as any one thing other than I guess classic metal ? Wait , let's not go there....@ibmorjamn mistakenly thought it was the Bay City Rollers (BCR) did that one in the mid 70s,
so my bad, got the wrong group. So actually, I did guess the song?
I was only a year off on Jethro's, though Troopers' "Raise a little Hell" is easily
ten times the song "Calling Dr. Love" is.
@Mitch Pearrow SJMP my apologies for being 3 years off in the Guess My Age game, but seriously,
how can you blame me? You look so young still! Forgot to account for the California vampire effect
Ok, so maybe this is the weekend you finally flip those amps off standby and rock out.
