“When I was growing up, I wanted to learn how to play guitar. My dad showed me how to play this riff first. I think it’s probably the first song anyone learns on guitar, because it’s so easy and fun to play. When I learned how to play it, I thought I was destined to be a rock star. There was no other way about it, this was my career path. I ended up getting some lessons from a guy down the road and I’d tell him which songs I wanted to learn and he’d figure them out for me. Not long after that, I quickly learned how to play them myself.”
