On The Streets
“Busking was the key factor in learning how to be a rhythm guitarist. I started to really appreciate those 50s and 60s players, like the Everly Brothers, Elvis and Eddie Cochran. They were going at acoustic guitar like they were playing electric guitar – but electric guitar didn’t really exist yet. When you listen to Wake Up Little Susie, that is just a masterclass in hardcore, precise acoustic rhythm guitar… Busking made me transfer over to steel‐string with a pick.”
