I was in high school still at the time, playing with my local band ‘Gallows Hill,’ and one day our other guitar player randomly mentioned how a band we all loved at the time ‘All Shall Perish’ put out an ad looking for a new lead guitar player. What was the path or the turning point that landed your first major gig?
Guitar ended up working out the best of everything I tried, so I put all of my effort into it. Drums were my primary focus at the time that I discovered Dream Theater’s album Train of Thought, but that album made me decide that I really needed to be able to write my own songs, so that’s when my main focus switched over to guitar. Before I started playing guitar, the order of instruments I learned was piano, drums, violin, and then finally, guitar came into the picture. The main reason I wanted to start getting better at guitar was so I could start writing my own songs. I had always kind of dabbled with guitar before I started taking it seriously, and decided at some point to practice regularly with the instrument. How and when did you first start playing guitar and writing music?
