I think I'm a father, but a father of three kids! :)

I really rely a lot more on memory. I'm definitely not as good of a sight reader.

Obviously the best way to retain the most profit is to not give any of it away. That's something that you certainly learn through the years.

I somehow always found the right people on my own to jam with as well as playing with all my buddies. I didn't get to a point where I was auditioning for any bands.

There were some initial instruments I had when I was young and made some trade-offs. Maybe a guitar I bought in a flea market. They weren't the greatest guitar but they would be cool to still have them. Other than that, not as a professional.

I experimented a bunch with Ernie Ball in getting the strings to not flop around too much, but at the same time not to be too thick to where you're playing telephone cables.

We have a storage close by where I live, that's very organised. My guitar tech, Matty organised it all, labeled everything.
