Andy Chase and I were keyboard players originally, and we became guitarists later. But it's fun for us to focus more on the keyboard stuff sometimes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think a lot of modern day guitarists start off playing like Eddie van Halen, and they don't take the time to learn the basics.
I've played piano and guitar when I was younger.
I always lived with guitarists. When they would leave, I would just pick up their acoustic guitars and start doing finger picking and write.
There were some older guitarists on my side of town, and I got to know many of them.
My daughter plays keyboard very well, and my son plays guitar, and they're totally into music.
Richard Lloyd of Television is one of my favorite guitarists. His mentor was Jimi Hendrix when he was just 14. Jimi was always pounding everything he knew into that kid.
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.
I was a guitar player first off.
I've always been into guitars... we want to put keyboards on, but keyboard players don't look cool onstage, they just keep their heads down. There has never been a cool keyboard player, apart from Elton John.
I started out as a guitarist in the early '80s.
