My dad was a musician, it was just what he did, like another guy's dad drives a meat truck. Our house was normal. We weren't taken with the fact our dad was a musician.

I suppose my father was more influential in my starting to play the guitar.

My dad was a musician and I traveled around with him, so it was something that I knew.

What I do now is all my dad's fault, because he bought me a guitar as a boy, for no apparent reason.

Some musicians I know are incredible fathers. Like Keith Richards. A fantastic dad.

My stepfather met my mother when I was seven years old, and he was a guitar player. So he caught me messing with his guitar, his electric guitar, and he tried to show me some chords, but my hands were too small.

My dad always played a lot of music, so I heard him playing all the time, and then I decided that I wanted to learn to play guitar, so I got an acoustic and started taking lessons. I wanted to be able to shred like Yngwie Malmsteen.

I do think my old fella wasn't much of a... I don't remember him ever being a 'dad' dad. He was too busy working. It was a hard life, man.

My dad also plays a little banjo and guitar, my mom plays the mandolin.
