what insipired him to change from violin to guitar? and who were his major influences at that time to push him to make that change?
Does he insure his hands incase of damage? How much does insurance like that cost?
How long, did he feel, it took to become proficient enough at the guitar to be where he is now(in terms of skill/talent... not money)?
Why doesn't he play more blues/rock? (he did, once, cover a deep purple song on a tribute album and he did pretty well considering his neo-classical roots)... Who are his influences aside from his classical roots? (I know he'll probably venture into something like, richie blackmore... maybe tommy bolin? or Hendrix.. but maybe I could be wrong and he'd come up with something ENTIRELY different).

I would love the chance to pick his brain about his career... Obveously ego-driven; he'd answer in the semi-most narrcissistic way... but he is one of the biggest influences/pioneers for modern speed guitar playing(a la neo-classical type stuff) and it would be intresting to get his side of the story(no matter how egotistical he is); and besides, at least he has the chops to back it all up! - Thu, 15 Jan 2009 3:42pm

Does he use that guitar that Micheal Angelo uses where one neck goes out one way, while the other neck goes out the other way, so that it looks like a big "v"? - Fri, 16 Jan 2009 2:30am

ask him how to pronounce his name three separate times, and get it wrong each time.

ask if he'd rather be a musician, fireman, or astronaut.

ask if he knows any pearl jam. tell him to play some on air.

ask if he's thinking of branching out and doing some pop-rock singer-songwriter type stuff.

ask what he does as a day job.

ask what's better - acoustic or electric?

I could go on forever :)

maybe you can keep him on the line and I'll ask him this stuff during my show. then again, I probably couldn't handle all the angry callers. - Fri, 16 Jan 2009 11:33am Edited: Fri, 16 Jan 2009 11:35am

ah crap ! looks like I missed out on this one.

I would have asked a few good ones.. like.

1. Have you ever hurt yourself swinging the guitar around your neck the way you do ?

2. What is your obsession with TV Yellow Strats ?

3. Have you ever played a guitar solo that DOESN'T have an arpeggio in it ?

those would have been nice to have some answers to. yup. - Fri, 23 Jan 2009 6:01pm
