I learned to play guitar and bass in my first road band. We played the college circuit and eventually opening for headliners in concert.
The guitarist had an Epiphone Sheraton I, and it was a beautiful guitar. He also had a Kay guitar that he kept as a backup. It had a neck like a baseball bat and strings about a mile away from the fretboard. He taught me how to play barre chords on it so that when the songwriter didn't have the good sense to put a sax part in the song, I could play rhythm guitar.
The bass player also played guitar, so he taught me how to play bass.
In the same group the drummer was a good singer, and since my first instrument was drums, I would sit at the kit a few times a night, so he could get out front and sing.
As time went on, I got better at all 3.
I never got to play the Sheraton, and I always struggled with the Kay. After that band broke up I bought a Gibson ES-330 and found out how comparatively easy one could play on a guitar with a decent neck. I still have that 330.
But to this day, I greatly dislike Kay guitars.
