A Lot Of Bands Whine About The

The Worst Advice I Ever Received From My Dad Was To Play By The Book.

Musicians Tend To Get Bored Playing The Same Thing Over And Over, So I Think It's Natural To Experiment.

I Was Lucky Enough To Get To See Guys Like Bugs Henderson, Jimmy Wallace, All Those Great Texas Blues Players.

My Heroes Were Eddie Van Halen - Especially After Van Halen I, Ii, Iii, And Iv - Randy Rhoads, Ace Frehley And Dudes Like That. My Brother Played Drums And We Jammed In The Garage And Started Writing Our Own Stuff.

I'm Not Saying I Wouldn't Play A Seven-string. It's Just That I've Never Needed One. Most Dudes Who Play Seven-strings Don't Sound Any Different Than Someone Playing A Six-string That's Tuned Down.
