I Really Consider Myself More Of A

I Really Consider Myself More Of A Rhythm Guitarist Than A Soloist.

Pete Townsend For Me Was A Huge Influence. Because Essentially They Were A Three-piece Band And The Way He Structured His Chords And Took Up A Lot Of Space Musically In The Songs Was Really Important To The Way Rush Developed. Geddy And Neil Both Were Such Active Players And Lot Of The Time We Were All Playing Like Crazy And It Was Too Much And Somebody Had To Reel It In And Me Being The Faceless Guy, I Would Do That.

Rock Music Seems To Be Very Fragmented These Days, I Can't Say That I Ever Really Hear Anything That Just Knocks Me Over.

I'm Not That Fluid When It Comes To Scales And Modes. I Just Pick Up The Guitar And Play. It's All About Exploration: Just Tune The Guitar Any Way You Want And Start Playing.

The Shock Of Any Trauma, I Think Changes Your Life. It's More Acute In The Beginning And After A Little Time You Settle Back To What You Were. However It Leaves An Indelible Mark On Your Psyche.
