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 believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it. ↗
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. ↗
