Exactly. I remember my 1st guitar teacher(when I had already been playing, such as it was, for many years) telling me that he had a college professor who had no use for any rock music. All total rubbish. And then, he came back after summer vacation and had discovered the Beatles. It was like a conversion experience.
[QUOTE=TBman;5528229]I was 9 years old when they were on Ed Sullivan show. Its their fault that I make you all listen to my guitar playing. Without those four guys I wonder if I would have ever been inspired to pick up a guitar.
Me, too, Barry. I was 11, and their music opened up a whole new world for me. I immediately knew I wanted to play guitar. My parents dismissed both the Beatles and my new-found desire to play guitar as fads that would blow over. But we all know how that prediction ended for the Beatles, and my love affair with the guitar is still going strong.
