A Perfect Blend Of Lead Guitar, But With Rhythm
A Perfect Blend Of Lead Guitar, But With Rhythm
Cris Cohen: Besides the obvious -- one plays lead, one plays rhythm -- how are you and Jesse maybe different in your approach to guitar?
Dean Roland of Collective Soul: Well, Jesse is a legitimate guitar player. And I'm not being self-deprecating. He's an amazing lead guitar player. He could play my parts. I couldn't play his parts. I'm not that type of player. I've never really aspired to be, but I love and respect it. He was a drummer first, as a teenager. So his rhythm is fantastic. And he's able to work that rhythm and phrasing into his solos, which I think are amazing. His favorite guitar player is Joe Walsh. And Joe's one of my favorites as well. Joe is like a perfect blend of lead guitar, but with rhythm, just super groove. So we share that in common. But I respect Jesse's playing immensely. He's great.
