Epiphone have interviewed guitarist Del Marquis of Scissor Sisters. Here’s a good snippet (heh) from it…

What would your advice be to up-and-coming guitarists?

“You gotta start guitar when you’re a teenager, it’s just key. You have to start when you have no life. All my advice would be to choose your instrument when you’re undeveloped and pathetic. Then when you reach adulthood, you have something that is yours, whatever you are – a guitar god, a stage rocker, a drummer, whatever.”
