“Don’t get too obsessed with particular guitar players. In my day, we used to sit down with a record to learn a lick, and because we couldn’t see what a player was doing, we would learn to play the lick in our own unique way. And this slowly helped us develop our own identity as players. Today, with so much instructional material and the advent of YouTube, players place far too much importance on copying their favorite players exactly rather than finding their own way of interpreting things. “ Nuno Bettencourt
