I started playing the guitar and singing at about 11 or 12.

I started playing music when I was around 10. I always wanted to be in a band, so I started out by playing drums.

My center is not really my singing so much as my guitar playing.

My first guitar was a Gretsch 6120, and I just loved listening to artists like Elvis, Chuck Berry and Stray Cats.

As a teenager I started painting and playing guitar.

I had the opportunity to do a movie with Roger Daltrey of The Who. In the movie, I played a guitar student. Since I had to learn how to play somewhat for the movie, I was introduced to the guitar.
