On the average, I dont spend more than 15 minutes in the car – to go to the golf course or the gym. And thats the only time I listen to the radio. – Dweezil Zappa
I liked a lot of the things other people liked – Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Van Halen, AC/DC – but if I compared it to my dads music, there just seemed to be elements missing. – Dweezil Zappa
Well, Steve Vai joined my dads band right around the time when I actually started playing guitar. So he gave me a couple of lessons on fundamentals, and gave me some scales and practice things to work on. But I pretty much learned everything by ear. – Dweezil Zappa
And, you know, my dad would show me some things sometimes, but the best things that I got to do were to actually see really good players play up close. That gives you an idea of fingering and technique and what not. – Dweezil Zappa
