They're the talk of the town right now. I sat down with guitarist Jason Rich for a look into the world of Coworkers.Is there one band who influences how you play guitar more than any other?
I got my first guitar when I was 13. At that time I liked pop metal bands like Skid Row and Warrant. The main purpose of the guitarists in those bands was to look cool and to play rippin', reverb-soaked, uber-complex solos after the second chorus of each song. I was just a kid with a Fender Strat and an 8 watt practice amp with no distortion. It seemed impossible. Seriously, I didn't even know what distortion was. I thought glam bands had that guitar tone because of their pointy, hot pink guitars. I had the same guitar Buddy Holly was pictured with on my Dad's records, and that was why it sounded clean and twangy. It was hopeless, so the guitar collected dust for a couple years. Then grunge hit in the early 90s. I loved everything about it...(more)
