Jemsite Interview
(Yesterday I was featured as part of Jemsite’s Guitar Heroes series. Jemsite is a way cool guitar community - definitely worth checking out…)
Here’s an excerpt:
How did you start playing the guitar?
I played violin from when I was six up until the beginning of high school. My dad surprised me and got me a guitar for my 15th birthday, and the rest is history 
Who are your musical influences?
Being from Georgia, the southern rock thing is kind of in the water here. Bands like The Black Crowes, R.E.M. and drivin n cryin were big influences when we first started out. As a guitarist I’ve always gravitated to guys like Mike Campbell and Peter Buck who come up with simple yet extremely memorable parts. Lately I’ve also been into guys like Steve Morse and Jimmy Herring who come out of that southern rock tradition but really take playing and their musicianship to another level.
