After Months Of Playing Air Guitar To 'free Bird', What Really Got Me Into Guitar Was Watching A Documentary About Jimi Hendrix And Picking Up The Woodstock Soundtrack. Listening To His Version Of 'star Spangled Banner' And 'purple Haze.' My Brother Played Acoustic Guitar And, Idolising Him, I Thought, 'i'm Going To Get A Guitar.'
