I got my first real six string
Boy, it had five undone

The story:

Well, the concept "five and dime store" isn't all that clear to all Europeans, so I couldn't have gotten that... but even so, playing a guitar with only one string? To my credit, I was 11, and maybe also to my credit, Bryan Adams' music isn't all that complex chord-wise.:)
I discovered this and that he hadn't been standing on his mother's corpse when I got older and wiser, all on my own.
