When his father saw he was both obsessed and talented, he got his some guitar lessons, and Fender took off: “I was flying by the time I was 13, learning all the hard-rock stuff like Led Zeppelin and Guns N’ Roses. He learned the big hits by Nirvana, Green Day, Oasis. The Peavey spent a year untouched in the corner of the young lad’s room, but when he was 10 he finally got the bug. I think I got into music as a way to be close to them.” That’s one thing I’d say to a kid just starting out – get your guitar set up, so it’s not like you’re battling bits of cheese wire! My brother was a musician drums was his first instrument. “Dad’s a great rhythm guitarist, and he showed me some basic chords and set the guitar up nice. And it’s still a great guitar – I play it from time to time. “My parents got divorced, I got a TV off my mum and a guitar from my dad: a Peavey Strat copy with a Peavey practice amp. “It was a ‘divorce’ Christmas present,” Fender says now.
It was his father, a guitar player himself, who bought Sam his very first guitar, back when he was eight.
