I studied classical but was interested in guitar noodling a la Steve Vai. I played some of his stuff live around 17. I studied under a student of Segovia (or a student of, I can't really remember) and "learned faster than anyone he knew." My parents drove me 500 miles round trip for lessons. I don't have any of that stuff but could send you my punk-doo wap band's ep if you really want to hear it. It's pretty rough around the edges but we had a lot of fun.
