Dave Grohl Forever A Foo Fighter

"I didn't take lessons to learn how to play guitar," he said. "I have a chord book and figured out to read the simple chord charts and I had The Beatles' Anthology and put on those greatest hits records and played along all day long. That's kinda where I learned how to play guitar but that's also where I learned to understand basic composition: verse, chorus, verse, arrangement. I started playing guitar when I was about 10 and I started the drums when I was maybe about 13/14; even with the drums I just learned how to play on a bed – I didn't have a drum set I just had pillows – and would listen to records and play along. I don't play conventional chords, sometimes I'll write riffs, ... [sighs] I won't look at the fret board as a scale... it's hard for me to even talk about because I just don't even know how to explain it."
