a question for Anders and Fred...

[ether]

How old were you when you started to play guitar?
What kind of guitar was the first one you bought?
Have you ever taken any guitar lessons or did you learn to play it by yourselves?

How old were you when you started to play guitar?

well, i got into playing guitar when I was around 12-13 years old. Before that I played some russian balalajka (!!!) at my school and I really think that triggered the urge to pick up the guitar as my lifestyle got metalized!

What kind of guitar was the first one you bought?

My first guitar was given to me as a present. A Tobacco sunburst Gibson copy called Fresher and it's been used on many of the earlier recordings.

Have you ever taken any guitar lessons or did you learn to play it by yourselves

no lessons taken... "playing by ear" is my way...
