Är det Steve Lukather han nämner som influens? Skumt uttal isf.

[MagnusLindblOOm]

He says the he started to play the guitar when he was 9 when he got a guitar on christmas. One of his main influences is Steve Luthaker and he played on a stratocaster. Thats how he came in contact with Fender.

Question 1. When did you start playing guitar?

"Uhm, I started playing guitar when I was 9 years old, I got a guitar,. .on Christmas Eve, and.. that was fun, and here we are, kinda."

2. How did you first come in contact with Fender?

"One of my like, favorite guitarplayers,

as an inspiration, is Steve Lukather, a guitarist.., and he played on a Strat, and of course he

had the greatest sound in the world, that's what I thought, and I guess that's when I first came

in contact with Fender. And then also, I have a Fender Telecaster that I bought a couple of years ago that

I've used alot, it's a 52 reissue, and it sounds AWEsome! I've used it alot..

3. Do you care about what materials an instrument is made of?

"No not really, although I've become more and more interested in materials and pedals and effects, and accessories you know,

the last, maybe 2 years, but uh.., it's not something I've always cared about.

4. What are your thoughts on the music business and the future of it?

[negolatak]

"You know this thing about people not buying records anymore because they download them instead. Of course

you can go around worrying about that you know, but I'd rather flip that whole thing around, and uh, I'd rather see it as

marketing, that people are downloading my songs. And sites like Myspace and stuff like that have really helped many artists

, and me too, extremely much, and I think it's phenomenal that they exist. So I'm positive about the future.

[jacksonshredder123]

there is no need for translation, his playing should say it all.
