Talking About My First Guitar (and Why It Mattered So Much)

Everyone remembers their first guitar — the quirks, the struggles, the excitement of learning that first chord. In this episode, I’m taking it back to where it all started for me: my very first guitar.

🎙️ This one was inspired by a great question from listener Drew who asked:

“What was your first guitar, and what made you fall in love with it?”

I’m sharing the story of how I got it, what it taught me, and how that early experience shaped the way I play (and teach) guitar today. Whether you’re just getting started or deep into your journey, this episode is a reminder that every player starts somewhere.

✅ The full story behind my first guitar
✅ What I struggled with as a beginner
✅ How I learned to love the process (even when it was frustrating)
✅ Tips for anyone choosing or learning on their first guitar
