MEGADETH Guitarist Chris Broderick - "Dave Learned A Lot Of What He Does On Guitar From The Street"
November 16, 2009, 14 years ago
MEGADETH guitarist Chris Broderick is featured in a new interview with Rock Music Star. An excerpt is available below.
RMS: Since you’re such an accomplished guitarist yourself, how do you rate Dave Mustaine as a guitarist? Can you maybe give us some insight?
Broderick: "Well, I don’t know if I can enlighten you to anything you don’t already know. But, Dave has such a unique personality. You know when you hear a guitar great you can tell right away it’s them. That personality kind of transmits to the instrument. That’s one thing that I really like about Dave’s playing. And that’s something that I’m searching for myself in my playing. Dave learned a lot of what he does on guitar from the street in a way. He figured out his own riffs and sense of tonality. I had formal training and started taking lessons as soon as I picked up the guitar. And I got me degree in classical guitar performance. It’s like different roads coming together."
RMS: Do you plan on releasing any of your classical material soon?
Broderick: "(pauses) There’s so much to do right now within Megadeth that I really wouldn’t have time to do it right now. So no, not in the near future, but maybe someday."
