Day Tripper on Guitar Q. If you could play any instrument in the world what would it be? A. I would love to be able to sing! Q. Would you rather never be able to play an instrument again but still hear music, or never hear music again but still play it? A. Hear but not play, because what’s the point in playing if you can’t listen to yourself, but if I can listen I can still appreciate it Q. What have you found the hardest skill to master as a musician? A. Sight reading straight onto my guitar, I’m still far from perfect! Q. Tell us a funny performing/ teaching experience? A. Whilst performing, I had to spontaneously change guitar mid song as I had managed to break the wiring inside after ‘artfully’ hitting it! Q. If you could play with any band or musician from past or present, who would it be? A. Iron Maiden, without a shadow of a doubt Q. Tell us a random fact about yourself that no one would know. A. Despite being a metal-head guitar player, I have never played guitar in a metal band! Thanks James.
