Hey Don! First off all thanks for being a sport and agreeing for the interview. Now lets start off with the questions. To begin with tell us about your experience winning the Guitar Idol 3?
Winning idol was quite the experience and I feel very humbled by the win. The players were all amazing. A few days earlier I had a concert and my guitar got damaged to the point where I had to use duct tape to hold the top down on the guitar. That messed with my confidence big time. So when I hit the stage I just had them crank the volume at the front end and I just played my acoustic with a rocker attitude and somehow got top honors. The music I chose to play was just in std tuning and shredding with right hand so to speaker (fast fingerpicking) I thought of doing tapping stuff but electric players can do that with much more ease and sophistication so I just played a fast song in the good old key of E and tried to cover everything possible in that key. more
