I was six years old. I got a guitar for christmas. Eric Clapton was my god.


Jorma Kaukonen.

Probably my favourite guitar tone of all time.
I've got a fuzzbox and i'm not afraid to use it

I'm not sure if GG made me want to play guitar, but he did teach me the dangers of eating a hot dog and then having a girl pee into your mouth. Kind of like swimming after eating a hot dog, I guess.....
