WORDS SAM ROBERTS
How did you get into guitar?
“A friend of mine got a cheap single-pickup Encore electric guitar, which was playable, unlike my dad’s acoustics. Jamming along to rock songs using two notes felt really good. I saved up money from my job as a cameraman for our local basketball team to buy a Korean Ibanez and figured out the pentatonic scale along the neck, although I didn’t know it was called that at the time. At some point, I picked up a cheap metal distortion pedal and thought I’d become Steve Vai. Sadly, I was pretty lethargic when it came to practising. During my A-Levels, an American friend came through with all.”
