Yeah I didn't really get into just playing guitar until I started listening to U2 a ton and started learning it myself. I had taken guitar lessons earlier on, and hated them, and it made me hate guitar playing itself. But it wasn't until I decided I was going to learn the stuff I loved on my OWN terms that I started playing again. And of course that led to songwriting and everything else.I'm sure you guys have experienced a similar path!
