He'd been trying to play the guitar since he was about 14 and he still couldn't play a full song. He knew parts of about 20,000 different songs, but he seemed incapable of learning one in its entirety.
His friend, also a guitarist, suggested they form a band and he jumped at the chance.
He couldn't play a full song either and also knew parts of 20,000 different songs.
They teamed up with a drummer who knew one beat and a bass player who only ever played two different notes.
They practised for hours and hours and eventually managed to play one song to a reasonable standard.
They realised it would be approximately 40 years before they learned enough songs to play a half hour set in the pub in ceased all band rehearsals with immediate effect.
