Uhm, nearly 1,5 years now.
HISTORICALLY it'd be closer to 5 years, but at the age of 13 my motorical problems were still too tough for me to be able to learn to play, so I just clinked around doing nothing... at 15 I received my first acoustic, still didn't start to play for real, I just made noise O.o
at 17 I bought my own first electric, this is April 2005. Now the problem was motivation! Being in a deep depression at the time I could hardly do anything. As soon as something went wrong even just a little bit I just gave up... I had just dropped off school too, to start over. By May 2005 I decided I wanted to go to the musical study line... and so I was motivated to start playing. By Christmas I had grown musically and self-confident enough to know I wasn't satisfied with neither tone, shape, design or playability of my first guitar... and now I'm here with my Jackson.
Oops, I got a little carried away, easily done when thinking about memories.
