John Petrucci: made me quit guitar!

In 1992 I quit playing guitar. I was so frustrated with my playing and not being able to pull off what I wanted to play that I thought it better to just hang it up for good and find another hobby. Anything had to be better than picking up the guitar for five minutes, being thoroughly disgusted, and putting it back in the closet. There is a whole world of things to do out there, so why continue to bang my head against the wall when I could be doing something more fun? For a long time I blamed Dream Theater’s guitarist John Petrucci for making me quit.
