1) Yes, he as a PhD, Astronomy. He took over 30 years off to be a Rock Star, but completed his Dissertation in 2007.

2) He prefers to use coins as picks, I believe a 6 pence. Yes, its actually a sixpence, which is an old coin from before the UK decimilised its currency in 1970 or therabouts. Its now worth 2.5 pence but is bo longer legal tender. I went to a Queen + Paul Rodgers concert a few years ago and they were selling them - I still have it here. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Schwatt is this?! Strange... thirty years off to be a rock star, huh?
-------------------- I spelled my username wrong...I didn't even think that was possible!
Look at the topic for my guitar... Finished Guitar Build Gear: Homemade strat (You still need to look at its topic!) Squier strat (probably going to get rid of it and get another guitar instead) :) Line 6 spider amp (not actually used for anything, just acts as a speaker) Digitech Gnx2 (kind of old, but cheap, and sounds amazing!) |
