Ron Thal: Doe Of Metal interview

DoM: How are your Skype guitar lessons going? Any crazies showing up?

B: The students I've taught so far have been fantastic – good people, talented, and I've enjoyed the one-on-one time with them! My inbox is so full I can't get to all the students reaching out, I wish I could. I'm going to try to teach when I can, but within a few days it became something beyond what I can keep up with.

DoM: Have you had guitar lessons yourself? If so, how important would you say they were for you?

B: I started taking lessons at age 7, they were very important. It was more than learning to play, it was learning about music, building discipline, learning how to be creative and channel it, it was social, cultural, everything about it was good and led to good things. I took one-on-one lessons for 8 years, and continued to study and seek out more on my own after that.
