Interviews

Interview: Scott Hughes

Dan McAvinchey

I'd really like to develop into a good composer. I'm not a Greg Howe or an Allan Holdsworth when it comes to soloing, so I have no choice but to work on developing my compositional skills so that people will have a reason to listen! To me, the ideal is someone like Scott Henderson, or Shawn Lane, who are not only amazing players, but equally strong, if not better, composers. That's the pinnacle, to me.
