Johnny Guitar
Biography
It was January 29, 1972, John was nine years old. His Dad brought him to Brian’s Guitar in New Haven, Connecticut. That day, in the back seat of the 1950 green Chevy, was John’s first Natural Wood Fender Stratocaster. John’s first amp, a Sears Tiesco with a small 8” inch speaker. One knob to turn it off, and on, And only one volume knob. John listened to his favorite artist of the day; Led Zepplin, Kiss, Areosmith, Jetho Tull, The Beatles, and the all powerful, Jimi Hendrix. It wasn’t long before the small amp was replaced with a 50 Watt Marshall 2 X 12 Combo Amplifier. John playing by ear, and with his only music book Introduction to Guitar by, Mel Bay. John struggled through the chords for hours each day he quickly learned the Hendrix riffs and was well on his way to his first gig. That day came, and with a few kids from school, it was Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird” that rocked the small Cape Style house of his parents.
