when did you start playing guitar?

Post by whatshername »

Just curious to see at what age people started playing and how long they've been playing for. I've been playing for a little over 4 years now, I started at the end of eighth and got my first guitar during my freshman year.

I started in the summer before 8th grade, so I'm just short of 9 years.
