A fifteen-year-old Peter McNeish picks up a guitar his father had bought for his younger brother Gary’s tenth birthday. Peter’s New Year resolution had been to keep a diary and the entry on this day reads, ‘Today I will start to learn to play the guitar.’ His prime influence is The Beatles Complete Chord Songbook, assisted by playing along to the second-hand Beatles records he had bought. His mother Margaret remembers, ‘Every day after school he would be in his room with the guitar, teaching himself how to play.’ The diary is forgotten about after a few weeks.
