To put it in musician's terms, my chops are good.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I know that I'm capable of moving around on the guitar. I can express myself the way I want to and feel good about it. But as far as technical chops, I'm not a learned musician.
I know when I started I would have been happy to sound like the Beatles or Joe Tex or whoever. You want to sound like most bands, you want to sound like their records and that's how you learn your chops.
If you've got the chops, people these days are more accepting of you.
Good taste - that's all you really need when you're playing an instrument.
My acting chops are awful.
I would say I am an amateur guitarist.
I am a musician, but I'm another type of musician.
See, I'm not a very good musician.
My first two records are so simply constructed. The reason isn't because I wanted to make simple music. It's because I don't really have the chops.
I'm not a musician making words to go with my music.
