Cris Cohen: Did you ever have actual guitar lessons or was it all... Kryz Reid of Third Eye Blind: No. All self-taught. No, it was just watching Jimi Hendrix on (video tape), rewinding the f---ing thing, and going, "How is he doing it?" That kind of stuff. But the thing is, when I started learning to play the guitar, I had already had a few girlfriends. I had been deeply in love. I had my heart completely smashed and all of that. And I'm an arty little f---er. I was always drawing and sketching and stuff like that as a kid. So, for me, (music was) the perfect conduit for all of that.
