Aw man, I've had the same sorta experiences!
Like when I was looking to buy my first guitar, the guy in the store was selling me this sexy looking one. Said it had 6 strings, the only guitar ever to have 6 strings. So what did I do? Well I payed a lotta good money for this legendary six stringed guitar.
I didn't feel fooled at first. I mean, the guy showed me some other guitars and they all had 4 strings. So I got home, boasted to all my friends that my guitar has 2 extra strings. They didn't seem very jealous but I figured that deep down they were.
So after a few hours of practising I'm watching VH1 Classic. I see an Aerosmith video, Joe Perry has a six string guitar but I shake it off and said to myself "Hey, he's loaded and famous. I'm just a teenager man and I still have a siz atring, that's better than all my other peers".
Then on comes a Motley Crue video. What's that Mick Mars has? A six string, but I just thought the same as I did with Joe Perry's. Then on comes Bon Jovi...Def Leppard...Guns N' Roses...and more and more and more.
Then one of my strings broke a few months later. So I went to a guitar shop to buy some. But I went to a different one, not the same one as I bought my guitar in. As I walked in most of them were six strings! Ranging from a couple of hundred pounds to a couple of thousand! So I asked the guy working there how come there were so many six strings when apperntly they're really rare? And he said I was a fool, he slapped me, and said that there a billion six strings. I felt stupider. I couldn't believe the guy who sold me the guitar had lied to me!
I won't even begin to tell you about the time I bought my first car...
