Sweet Child O' Mine came on the radio while I was playing guitar at the breakfast table. I started playing along with the riff and a flash of something, maybe not "Wow!" but definitely not "Daa-ad you're embarrassing me", flashed across my eight year old boy's face. For a split second it was there. It felt awesome.
And THAT is why I play guitar. It used to be for girls and kicks, but now it is for that thing. That look. However fleeting.
Thank you Slash. Thank you BBC Radio 2.
