I Was More Influenced By Players Like

Every Song Is Different.

I Would Just Listen To Records And Learn What I Could, Then Just Roll It Over And Over And Over.

The Worst Advice I Ever Received From My Dad Was To Play By The Book. My Old Man Used To Flip Out Whenever I Would Try To Branch Out And Do Something Different. Although He Didn't Do It On Purpose, He Really Held Me Back In The Beginning.

I Was More Influenced By Players Like Randy Rhoads And Eddie Van Halen Than By The Guys In Southern Rock Bands.

My Old Man Was A Musician - That's What He Did For A Living. And Like Most Fathers, Occasionally He'd Let Me Visit Where He Worked. So I Started Going To His Recording Studio, And I Really Dug It.
