first song I learned on my guitar eight years ago. 
Wow, you must be quite the guitar player. Talk about starting with a tough one!
Course maybe you're one of those guys who it just comes naturally to. For me, I've
had to claw my way every inch from down right awful to mediocre.

no wigs and suits, just the music

It was hard to concentrate on playing because I just wanted to listen to him 
I hear you there FiLtH. Same thing happens to me all the time when our other guitar player
breaks into a smoking solo I sometimes find myself messing up the rhythm because I'm too
busy listening to what he's laying down.

He's a great guitar player, his solos just...soar.
I absolutely love the one in the middle of Dogs.
They sure do soar! Animals is one of my all time favorite albums.
I wish i could find a group to play with. Been in college for almost 2 years and still jammin in my dorm 
Keep your eyes and ears open, you'll eventually find some folk to jam with. I was in my early 30s before I
found a group to play with. Good luck!
