I Was More Influenced By Players Like

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

My Old Man Was A Musician - That's What He Did For A Living. And Like Most Fathers, Occasionally He'd Let Me Visit Where He Worked. So I Started Going To His Recording Studio, And I Really Dug It.

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.

To Get My Sound In The Studio, I Double Guitar Tracks, And When It Gets To The Lead Parts, The Rhythm Drops Out, Just Like It's Live. I'm Very Conscious Of That.

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