I started classical violin at age 6 - no choice, and I hated it untill I moved out and didn't have to play any more.

I still play, and have been listening to bluegrass, trying to move over. I listen to plenty of rock (recently the GD), but there's no fiddle in there.

I'd like to be able to play the music I like, but it'll take some innovation, since the fiddle isn't a rock instrument.

I think the fiddle has a melencholy tone, and won't fit into any music that is too pure angry/happy/anything else.

Deff Nirvana

Kurt Cobain got an electric guitar for christmas..had no amp
His mom got pissed at her BF (after her and kurts dad's divorce) and told kurts sister to throw all the guns in the house in the river be she shot the dude..
Kurt paid some kids 5$ to fish the duffle bag of guns out of the river and turned around and pawned them for his first guitar amp..

I got so into guitar and inspired by kurt's "anything for guitar" motives..
At age 16 I did some pretty illegal shit (stupid now that i'm older) to get money for this amp:


ANYTHING FOR MUSIC MAN!

On top of that piece of inspiring dedication..
Nirvana in general, the whole 3 man band, emotional passion nirvana entailed..

Nirvana - Lake of fire (Meatpuppets cover from Unplugged in New York)
Made me pick up a guitar and learn...

Since then I've aquired over 30 guitars, written 22 songs, recorded on analog reel to reel
(going digital soon, look for link in my sig)

^ Wow, got carried away there for a min. ^

Summary: Nirvana - lake of fire <- good stuff..
