I never took guitar lessons. I took classical piano lessons from the age of six when we lived in Holland.

Obviously there's something very seductive about movies, which can be attractive in a bad way if you're doing them for the wrong reasons - for money, or for fame.

I wanted to shred, so I learned classical guitar.

When I was growing up, there were two things that were unpopular in my house. One was me, and the other was my guitar.
