My son, Wolfgang, plays drums, guitars and bass.

I'm just a guitarist in a kick-ass rock and roll band. What more could I ask for?

I destroyed a lot of guitars trying to get them to do what I wanted, but I learned something from every guitar I tore apart, and discovered even more things. Things like if the string is not straight from the bridge saddle to the nut, you're going to have friction.

The one thing I do have is good ears. I don't mean perfect pitch, but ears for picking things up. I developed my ear through piano theory, but I never had a guitar lesson in my life, except from Eric Clapton off of records.

If I can help a kid discover a liking, or even a passion for music in their life, then that’s a wonderful thing.

Nirvana was huge, but it didn't appeal to everyone.

There are really three parts to the creative process. First there is inspiration, then there is the execution, and finally there is the release.
