8 Times Waylon Jennings Was A Hard Core Badass

1. The Time He Learned To Play Guitar As A Child

Believe it or not, Jennings was only eight years old when he learned to play guitar for the first time. Lenny Kaye wrote about Jennings’ childhood in his book, and revealed that his mother was the one who taught him to play guitar.

Since Jennings didn’t have a guitar of his own at first, he borrowed guitars from his family members so he could practice. Finally, his mother bought him a guitar and it was only a matter of years before he had his own 30-minute radio program at the age of 12.
