GT: Do you have a type of pick that you can’t live without?
PS: The green 0.88mm, combined with my fingernails and thumb. I buy these picks online in large quantities and like them best when brand new, usually getting a song or two out of each pick. They’ve got to be fresh!
GT: If you had to give up all your pedals but three, what would they be?
PS: A great sounding Fuzz Face or Diaz Square Face, a vintage TS808 Tube Screamer, and an early Italian Vox/Cry Baby wah-wah with the halo-inductor. Great examples of these specific pedals always inspire me, and no two sound quite the same, which keeps me always on the prowl and looking out for another great sounding unit.
GT: Do you play another instrument well enough to do so in a band?
PS: I studied classical piano and trombone as a kid. But I haven’t spent much time playing either instrument since I put my hands on a guitar, so I wouldn’t dare audition for a band on piano or trombone! I’ve played bass on my past two studio
