INSTRUMENTAL INQUISITION !
GT:What is it about guitar instrumentals that appeals to you?
LW: I was most inspired by bands that had great guitar players, though they weren’t necessarily defined as guitar instrumental music. I was drawn to groups like Mahavishnu Orchestra, Dixie Dregs, and the Dutch band, Focus – where guitar played a substantial role, but the overall content of the music, the compositional element, led the charge. I’d describe my own material in the same fashion.
GT: What can an instrumental provide that a vocal song can't?
LW: All music at its best conveys the human condition at all ends of the emotional scale whether it features vocals or not. As such I don’t feel instrumental music can provide anything a song with lyrics can’t,
