I would walk down the hall with my guitar and play for anyone that would listen. As a young kid I was really driven and I was going to make it happen no matter what. ↗
I preferred not to be laden down with a big instrument. If you're behind a guitar, you get used to being behind a guitar, and you don't really perform because you can't. I wanted to be able to just hold on to the mike and sing. ↗
I really worked to try and be creative enough on the guitar parts so those who aren't real educated would know that there was some difficulty in doing it. ↗
