I Have Selective Hearing.

I Never Took Guitar Lessons. I Took Classical Piano Lessons From The Age Of Six When We Lived In Holland.

Imagine If Beethoven Had A Tape Recorder. Then You'd Know Exactly What He Meant. Maybe He Meant 'da Da Da Da' Instead Of 'boom Boom Boom Boom!' Who Knows?

There Are Really Three Parts To The Creative Process. First There Is Inspiration, Then There Is The Execution, And Finally There Is The Release.

And If I Would Have Taken Lessons I Probably Wouldn't Have Done It, And What Forced Me To Do All This Weird Stuff On The Guitar Was I Couldn't Afford Effects Pedals, I Didn't Have All This Stuff When I Was A Kid So I Just Tried To Squeeze All The Weird Noises I Could Out Of The Guitar, Which Brings Me To Building Guitars.

I'm Just A Guitarist In A Kick-ass Rock And Roll Band. What More Could I Ask For?
