I never felt I had enough personal style to pursue being just a guitarist.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't see myself as such an important guitarist.
In the past, I tried to be more of a typical session guitarist. I wasn't so concerned with impressing anybody.
I started out as a guitarist in the early '80s.
I didn't start to collect records and listen to guitar players properly until I went to art school, when I'd already been playing for five years. So my style was already formed, and that's why I think it's so unique.
I'm not a 'guitarist.' I'm trying to be a bassist.
As a musician, basically the masses never thought I was a musician.
I was just a punk-rock kid who never played acoustic guitar.
I had no aspirations to be a musician, but I picked up a guitar for two seconds and haven't put it down since.
I never really thought about becoming a professional musician.
I've never been much of a guitarist. I mean, I've played forever, but I was always more of a rhythm kind of guy. I don't read music.
