My drummer, bass player, and guitar player sing backgrounds. They play and sing. I can sing all the harmonies, but I can't do it alone.
It's always great playing with other musicians. It's also a great situation where I'm the older guy, I've influenced generations of guitar players.
Sometimes it's hard for me to just be the guitar player and lose myself.
I'm not a good guitar player.
I'm a bass player from way back and Paul is a guitar player and we've been in many bands.
Over the years, I played with a couple of spectacular guitar players, and playing with them has made me play better than I knew how to play. I hope the same thing is true with acting.
A guitar player goes on the road, and he misses his girlfriend for a while, but he manages to get along. A horn player gets out on the road, plays two or three towns, and then he'll get lonely, and next thing you know, he's packed up and left. It's better not to hire him in the first place.
I think we choose gear by the way that it looks. We choose lots of things by the way that it looks. I don't like bands that look like roadies. I don't like when I can't tell who's the guitar tech and who's the guitar player.
I don't like playing to guitar players, actually. I'd rather just play to ordinary people.
In essence, I feel I'm more jazz guitar player because I write vehicles geared for improvisation.
