I couldn’t find anything with a guitar.
But I found these two

I’ve had a guitar since about 14 but after a hunt through my photos, I can’t find any that have me holding one (not surprising as I’ve always shied away from playing around other people :face_with_peeking_eye: :joy:) so the earliest I could find was from a self-recorded video of me trying my brand new ESP LTD AX-360 in 2017 (video was awful btw!) :wink: :laughing:

Well, it isn’t the picture I was looking for, but here I am at the age of 3 1/2 learning to play left handed, with a questionable fret hand position.

Haha! Good old times!
It was the time when Android phones were introduced back in 2013. All I knew was A D C chords. Those were the easiest chords and I used to play them for all songs in my church gatherings. It’s funny that nobody was educated enough to notice the musical thing. I managed to cheat them pretty well. I hope I will jump to the intermediate level very soon.

This thread is pure gold, what a diverting read after a long, tired day! :joy:

I’ll join the fun. Not the oldest pic of me with a guitar, but the oldest (and weirdest :rofl:) I could find right now. It’s almost 20 years old I guess, I must be 16ish and it was taken at school, it seems. I was jumping of that furniture piece and we tried that like 100 times until I was satisfied with the outcome. Looking at the pic now… :woman_facepalming: :sweat_smile: :rofl:

My guitar is actually embarrassed to be part of that pic. :joy:
