As you can appreciate over my lifetime I've developed a large vocabulary of sounds each requiring certain physical techniques often combined with a specific effect box.

I thought I might be a band instructor, someone who plays all the instruments and teaches others.

Age 10. I joined the school marching band as a drummer.

I have no secrets; all of these things have been discussed at length in guitar magazines over the years but are far too elaborate to cover in one article.

I love drums and still play frequently.

I borrowed a guitar at age 16 and taught myself to play because I wanted to write songs.

My heart and soul are in the Stratocaster
