Have you ever used some guitar effects or pedals?
Which amplifier do you like the most? Do you use the same one both on stage and in studio?
Sounds like a strat and feels like a Gibson I just love that. What made you choose this guitar and what strengths do you see in this instrument? Later you started to play an Erlewine Lazer. I loved the look sound and feel of a Firebird and it was really good for thumb picking. Which instruments have you decided to use later? Why have you decided to play a Gibson Firebird, and not a Gibson Les Paul that is very popular among rock and blues musicians? It was a 12 string fender strung with 6 strings it was just a favorite at the time. What was it really and why did you choose this guitar that time? I just listened to guys like ray charles and bobby blue bland and thats how it started.Īt Woodstock, you were playing a 12-string guitar. Have you perhaps sung in some school choir, or have you started singing as an adult? Your recordings are known for your truly original and naturally excellent singing. Would you reveal how much time did you spend practicing in the beginning, or if you have practiced at all?Ībout 5 hours a day for years listening to everything I could find.ĭid you use sheet music while you were learning, or were you rather listening? Since your very first albums, you have played your guitar in a very specific, expressive way that is also difficult as to the technique. I use a thumb pick my teacher used on so that’s how I learned. Is this your original idea, or were you inspired by older blues or country? You use a special technique for your right hand. It just ended up that way I started on clarinet. How came you had chosen guitar and your brother Edgar had decided to play the keyboards and saxophone? My parents where musical but I took lesson but am mostly self taught they were very supportive. What was the start of your musical journey? Are you an autodidact or were you attending some school od music? Were your parents perhaps supporting your musical efforts? I am one of your big fans and I would like to ask you a few questions. I am a rock musician from Prague and I co-operate with a Slovak music magazine Nový Populár.
