For me, it’s really not what inspires my playing, and honestly, the only “who” is.....me. Since starting 41 years ago, I just can’t help myself.
I’m surprised that no one has said, even if in jest.....chicks!

Welcome to the AGF, AMT. You are amongst a group of knowledgeable and friendly guitar aficionados.
My mother inspired me the most because she bought me a guitar and paid for a few lessons when I was 12 years old. If you had joined a few weeks earlier you would have seen many posts in a thread with a similar theme. Never hurts to ask a good question again, however, and you are getting a bunch of good replies. |

It's good that your mother introduced you to guitar at an early age. I wish I had stuck with it when I first got guitar lessons, I would probably be a much better player at this point. I assumed there had been threads like this before, but I figured some people would want to restate or update their current musical interest. Thanks again! |

Ha ha, girls are definitely a motive for learning to play guitar. People try not to admit it, but it's definitely there.

The reason that I wanted to play was because of the way that girls acted over the Beatles.
When I decided to learn to play, it was John Denver that got me started. His music was do-able and yet it was inspiring. After I was playing the guitar well enough to play a lot of John's songs, I got a Gordon Lightfoot music book and started to learn his songs. Gordon uses chords that I had never seen or played before. His music broadened my abilities. From there, I moved on to Bluegrass which I will never master. My inspiration for Bluegrass was Tony Rice, Norman Blake New Grass Revival.

Oddly enough for me its gigging. I know that if I am going to be in front of a listening audience I really try to keep my playing level up.
