I'm 63 years old, have lived all over the country, and still have (PROUDLY) hanging on the wall my first guitar, a Japanese-made Ventura 335-type guitar. My parents bought it for me when I was 12 (1972), and I hated it, cause all my friends had strats and teles and solid body guitars. Today I love that we've both survived the journey, so far✌

[@datutturugang666]

My first guitar actually ended up at a local music store and my wife bought for me for Christmas. It was a crappy Harmony I purchased through Fingerhut. In high school I had given it to a friend after I purchased a new guitar and then never saw it again. Then over 20 years later I see it in the music sites Facebook and told my wife about it and unwrapped it in Christmas that year. It was a cool experience.

Harmony is not a crappy guitar. Still have my electric and acoustic purchased at "Best" department store in the 80's they both still play and look great.

Yep. My first bass in 1987 was an already old and beat up Cort pbass copy. It was in the possession of an old HS friend when he was killed by a drunk driver so I never knew what happened to it. But I do still have the Kramer I bought new soon after in 1988. The same bass we recorded at his home on a 4 track with, and still have those tapes. Stuff I hope to keep forever.

@@SuicideSeason4545 i learned on acoustic for my first year and switching to electric was just fine, but of course it took like a whole 6 months to be able to adjust my playing style to where it didn't sound sloppy and messy through the amp

[@Douglas_I]

Start on whatever guitar you want! That being said, I would pick acoustic to start on because electric is easier to play. It's the same as learning to drive with a manual transmission. If you can drive a manual, you can drive an automatic. If you learn to drive an automatic and at some point need to drive a manual, it's going to be so difficult! Acoustic vs electric isn't quite that extreme but I would always say to start on acoustic. That's just my opinion though. Whatever you do, don't give up!

[@5skdm]

My first "guitar" was a yamaha guitalele from over half a decade ago. I was still quite young and know nothing about music theory and scales and all that stuff so i assumed it was a regular guitar but much smaller instead of having a different tuning. It got given away by my dad during the pandemic to a low income family, but i dont really care since i already had a yamaha cg102 from 1 or 2 years before the pandemic plus its helping the poor lol

RIP Uncle Tim. That jam with your cousin at the end brought a tear to my eye and raised the hairs on my arms - as much for the overtones of family, a tribute to Tim and passing/repassing of the baton - as it was for the music itself. I still have my first guitar - sat forgotten and unloved in a cupboard for a few decades. During the unfortunate circumstances of the past few years with lockdowns etc - I got it out, completely refurbished it and gave it a new paint job. Brings a smile to my face to look at it on the wall and compels me to pick it up.

This one hit me harder than I thought. My dad passed away a couple of days before this was posted and he's solely responsible for my love of music. He taught me all the greats.

It's a nostalgic trip for sure. I still have my first guitar. A spanish guitar with a broken string that I need to restring soon haha. Congrats on your find Tyler!

[@guitarplayinsmit]

My Uncle is a guitarist and showed me a lot of music as a kid, especially stuff like Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Sabbath and all the heavy hitters of the late 60s and early 70s, so I owe a lot to my uncle as well. My first guitar is sitting in my parent's closet, Dad says it will never leave unless I'm the one taking it with me. Crazy how those very first guitars hold so much emotion in them all these years later, more than we would ever know, right? This was truly beautiful to see, I could feel your emotions through the screen. Thoughts going your way during your time of loss, I can definitely see his influence on you. Glad you were able to receive that blessing and gift!

[@danielflintknapping]

I found my first guitar in my parents closet a few years ago. It was a red strat copy that i bought myself when i was 13, think it was 1997. The neck was broken and pickups had rusted because it had been in a garage for many years but the white plastic details had aged beautifully creamy 😁 So i bought some Fender pickups, new electronics, a rosewood fretboard neck and fixed some details. Now it's my number one guitar 👍

[@daghetto101]

What matters is the body and the exact guitar loool. Feels nostalgic when you get it. My first guitar is a $150 handmade lespaul. Fast forward everything with it sucks. Hardwares all tarnished and green, action is 5mm high, pots are all not working/scratchy and the only thing that works is the pickup. Change the hardware and machine heads to gotoh, replace the pickups with Duncans, Set it up then plays good and feels good again. Fortunately it is a bolt on les paul so i can change the neck if i want to.

[@Catywampus_Kerfuffle]

Glad to see you've been able to enjoy the blessing of close family bonds. It's a very rare gift in this era.

[@dooleyfan]

Sorry for your loss. It’s great to have had a cool uncle to inform your playing. I got rid of my first THREE guitars when I was a starving student. I don’t regret two of them, but one was a lawsuit era 70s El Degas Les Paul, and I regretted losing that one. Thankfully, a few years later I found an almost identical one for a very good price, upgraded the pickups, and I’ve had it for about 25 years now. I learned my lesson and never got rid of another one after those first three. I lend guitars out regularly to friends and family, sometimes for years, but I always get them back.

Growing up I always used to fall back on rap music r&b.. my uncle who passed away many years ago always pushed me to listen to older rock, Ozzy Pink Floyd Zeppelin. And I never got into it. After his passing I started to listen to as much rock as possible old-new. Then finally, just year ago, I picked up a guitar and have been learning everyday. Wish I would have listened to my uncle way back then when he was here. Learning something related with guitars is a part of my everyday routine. If it wasn’t for my uncle I probably wouldn’t even of ever picked up a guitar.

[@lancebloke]

My first guitar was a Yamaha Pacifica. Was a great guitar but I got rid of it when I ran out of space. About 5 years later i found it in a local studio as one of the house guitars. Was very beaten up but at least had found a new life. I will never know what happened to my second guitar which was an epiphany 56 goldtop. I can't even remember what I did with it.

[@JoeGuitar]

my first guitar... well..... it was 1981... I was 14. My Dad went to the guitar shop which was 2 blks from our house and he knew how much I loved Black Sabbath. So he bought me a 1968 Gibson SG junior (with one P-90 pickup) and a Peavey Backstage amp. He paid $325 for the guitar / amp combo. $200 for the guitar and $125 for the amp.. That was a lot of money to spend on a christmas present back then. When I opened the guitar case (which said Gibson on it) I literally started crying... I was so happy ! I never put that guitar down.. I used to fall asleep with it in my arms. Then about 3 years later I traded it for a flying V... a white 1972 Gibson Flying V just like my heroes Michael Schenker and Wolf Hoffman (from Accept) played. I sold the amp around 1987 because I had a bought a Marshall 100 watt stack. Then about 5yrs later I found the amp ! I bought it instantly. Still have it. Since then I've owned 300-400 guitars. For about 15yrs I used to fix / build guitars for a living. Just 2 years ago I finally bought a 1968 Gibson SG.. standard .. lols. It plays EXACTLY like my Junior did. I'll never sell it ! Back then there was no such thing as vintage guitars. They were just called "used". When I got my 68' SG it was 13 yrs old. It wasn't vintage... it was just an old SG. Nobody wanted SGs then. All the kids wanted the pointy guitars... flying V's and explorers. So today, buying a 13 yr old guitar..... that'd be like buying a used 2010 guitar... no big deal. LOLs...

[@warrenp.5916]

Don’t have my first (1972 SG) however, my second guitar was a 1977 FlyingV which I fell in love with, it fit my hand like a glove, thick fat smooth sound ❤, unfortunately as bands do we went our separate ways and I needed to pay rent and eat 😢. So, I traded it and it’s custom Anvil case for cash, and a 1965 Melody Maker. (which I still have) but trying to find or get something close to what I had is mega bucks for a beat up one. So… I’m building one now. And I’m in love with playing again after many decades! Never forget your first (or second) love! Sometimes you can go back!! Love the story, love your channel! Keep keeping it real my friend. 🙏

[@thedarkcarny7364]

My condolences on your loss. Maybe your uncle had a hand in your reconnecting with your first guitar. I still have my first guitar; a right handed, late 80's/early 90's Profile guitar from Sears. Found out with that guitar, I am actually a left handed player. So turned the nut around and restrung it to match. One day it was stolen from me and about 2 weeks later, it turned up in the local pawn shop. Since there aren't a lot of no name guitars strung upside down in this town, the shop owner (reluctantly) allowed me to take it, free of charge (I did offer to pay at least something for it, for his troubles).

[@grizzlycmmg9578]

Started my Music/Guitar journey in 2014 with a simple Fender Bass, eventually moved on to 6 Strings about a year later, my 2nd ever bass is a WarWick Corvette $$ (Double Buck) 5 String, that I picked up second hand for about $500. My first serious 6 string is an LTD M100-FM, keep in mind I was a kid when I was getting these guitars so I had no serious budget, but I've had all of my OG Guitars since I've bought them, and my Fender Bass and M100-FM are two Guitars I refuse to let go, I still have my WarWick but it needs some serious maintenance and just a general overhaul of its original electronics and Pickups, my M100-FM is also due for Electronics work and that will be the first guitar to get its work done to it. I'll never forget as a new guitar player, getting a Floyd Rose as a relatively new 6 String player, the egregious process of just learning what there is to know not only about guitar technical basics, but also the maintenance basics of a Floyd Rose without having any knowledge of how they really worked, at first it was a massive undertaking because it seemed so daunting to set it up or even restring it, but not much later I had the hang of it and that M100-FM had thousands of hours put on it in the span of 7 years, and still has hundreds of hours put on it every year. My most recent guitar was a 1994 (or '96 I can't remember exactly, but it was within the first couple of years of Mexi Strat Production models) Mexican Stratocaster, I can't afford American Strats so I went with the Mexi and my god did she sing, unfortunately due to personal and familial issues I had to get rid of it and it is something I will always regret having to do and it put a huge hole in my heart because that Guitar was a gift to me. Regardless, the first Guitar, or for me the first couple, are the guitars that should never be sold and should always be kept. Even if they aren't played anymore, because once you fall in love with music and guitars you will always get a sense of nostalgia and appreciation every time you look at them. My first bass is far out of working order (Missing bridge pieces, bad electronics/pickups, ect) but I plan to do a massive overhaul to it and bring it up to High End Fender Bass standards in the future, even though I barely, if ever really play Bass anymore, after that, since it will likely get little play time, I'm going to buy a big wall-mounted black box to put it into and hang it up in my room, along with my other guitars on the wall. I think the main takeaway here is that regardless of how 'cheap' some of our first guitars are, the sentimental value is astronomically high, the struggle, frustration, and eventual gratification that you get from learning and, frankly, beating on those first few instruments is something you will never forget once you become a seasoned Guitarist.

Another great video, Tyler. Sorry for your loss. Tim will always live on in your memories and wonderful music. Remember the good times and keep on strumming my friend.

[@nickhughes7182]

I've been digging your commentary for about a week now I don't remember which video lead me your way, but I've watched each one that pops up on my feed. Finally subscribed because you present a delightful cadence. Thank you for sharing. You seem like good people.

I went and rebought my original guitar (well, same model, color & year of the odd bird Squier HM3 (1989)), and it is SUPER DUPER fun to play one's original guitar. I busted it out over the weekend, and when it comes down to it, the only thing that needed upgrading was my playing. (I have replaced the pups...). What was even more fun was playing it live with my band over the summer! Congrats!

I'd love to see you do a full setup and re-do the electrics and new pickups. I know it'll lose what that guitar is but would be neat to see it hot rodded.

[@cynicalclockworks9857]

I do. My LTD Explorer. Both knobs are broken, the bridge has practically rotted away, and there's huge chunks missing out of the horns... love that thing.

[@haus05]

I just recently got my first guitar working again. It’s a cheap 1996 Squier Affinity Strat from one of those guitar starter bundles that I got when I was 15. The moment I started playing it, I was instantly back in my teenage bedroom. It’s wild how much it hits me in the feels when I play it. Never let go of your first.

Rest easy Uncle Tim and Thank you!

So sorry for your loss, just want to say thanks for staying strong and continuing to inspire guitarists all around the world! I still have my first guitar (obviously, I've only been playing for 4 years). It's a 2004 Affinity Strat that was trash picked, it has the big CBS style headstock (which I actually like) and the neck is unusually narrow. I'm left handed so we did a Jimi Hendrix on it and also swapped the pickups out for some cheap eBay Alnico-V ones. It is much better now and plays pretty good, it feels very sure footed and produces the same feeling as an old crummy car that you just can't get enough of now that you've fixed a major issue.

amazing video. Gave me chills and reminded me of my first 1990 star squire. I'm sure your uncle Tim is looking down on you with a smile. Keep up the good work, Jimmy Cusack

[@PHATNERO]

I'm sorry for your loss 😢 but thank you for the continued inspiration. You make great content. Yes I still have my first guitar. I know, that, feeling, I get it when I think about playing my first still. She sits beside me all the time.

[@guitaroholic4365]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I lost one of my favorite Uncles almost a year ago. This just flooded me with emotions.

[@kryptic9697]

rest in paradise uncle Tim. thank you so much for your influence.

[@robraaiii]

It’s your muscles. They are reuniting with the guitar that provided the first guitar related muscle memory. Probably a “feels like home” type of feeling. Congrats man 🤘🤘🤘

[@MVortex2]

I always wanted to make a video of me playing all the basic starter instruments with an original song. Main guitar is a 1984 harmony electric bought from a Sears catalog.

[@nickandrews2255]

ooooft I feel sad now this must be tough for you lots of love bro keep on keeping

[@mintsauce101]

33 years ago I bought my 1st electric guitar, a 91 fiesta red Hank Marvin signature Japanese squire. It still hangs on my man cave wall well used to the point it desperately needs a refret and new fingerboard lacquer but hey it’s character right?

[@StormdriverOne]

Tim seems like a good dude. Rest easy, Tim. Guitar did sound pretty cool. Gruhn's is a nice place. I went there with my dad a few years ago. The amp closet still looks the same.
