Well, I got very lucky. I'm from Nashville, Tennessee, and there's a very eclectic music scene there. At a pretty young age, probably about 3 or 4 years into playing, I was already doing quite a bit with the bass, quite a bit for a young kid, and someone hooked me up with Regi Wooten, the oldest brother of the Wooten brothers. He's the guitar player and he taught all of them how to play their instruments. Hooking up with him from an early age, we became very close. Being around those Wooten guys and that whole community at a very young age set the bar extremely high. They were doing extreme things with their instruments, but it became very normal. You know, you're sort of a product of your environment. If you've never heard someone speak English, you're not just going to be able to speak English out of nowhere, having never even heard the language. It came to where some guy playing like this and doing all this crazy stuff was completely routine and normal for me growing up. That experience really created what you see now in a large part and there was also a lot of independent study in correlation with that.
