And they kind of left to find a guitar player at the very end, so you know, I don't really take it as any slight that I wasn't able to play on the record. It's flattering just to play with them period.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I joined the band, being that I was going to take this up as a profession, I realized that there were no two finer guitar players in the world that I'd rather play with.
Great guitar players are a dime a dozen. It is sometimes your very limitations as players that set you apart from the crowd.
One thing I've noticed over the years is that young players - I mean 10- and 12-year-olds - really like my guitar style. There's something in my guitar style that they totally can latch onto and learn quickly, and then go from there to your Yngwie Malmsteens or your Steve Vais or whatever.
I'm glad there are a lot of guitar players pursuing technique as diligently as they possibly can, because it leaves this whole other area open to people like me.
I think it gets boring (for the audience) for the lead singer to have a guitar hanging on them all the time.
I'm surrounded by great guitar players.
I'm fine with being thought of as a guitar player, and if I can get any recognition or respect for doing that, that's a pretty good thing for me.
Guitar players in the nineties seem to be reacting against the technique oriented eighties.
I'm definitely a guitar player, but it's the last thing I listen to in a song, after the singer and the drums.
I mean, no offense, but I don't really see why, like guitar players from Creed, or something like that, are on the cover of guitar magazines. Almost anybody can sit down and learn to play those songs.
