00:00My brother's friend had a drum set. Long story short, we got it in my basement.
00:03I'm down there trying to learn how to play, and my dad walks down after work.
00:05He's all dirty, and he looks and he goes, no way.
00:08The one time in my life he laid the hammer down.
00:12He was an old-school Vietnam-era guy, so he had good musical taste.
00:16But he goes, why don't you get a guitar?
00:18Because it has a volume knob, and you can take it with you.
00:20He's like, there's too much stuff for drums.
00:22Well, I'm not going to play acoustic guitar. I'll try electric.
00:24And we had an old acoustic.
00:26He said, if you can learn a riff, or learn something on the acoustic,
00:29I'll take you to get an electric.
00:30So naturally, I...
00:35And I did that within, I don't know, 20 minutes.
00:38And he was like, all right, we'll go get a guitar this weekend.
