I would take my guitar to college and sit for hours in the hills humming to myself.
The electric guitar was a big step for me, but I didn't spend a lot of time trying to adjust. It wasn't like, 'Hey, little lady, come strap on this here big guitar.' We took it in steps as much as possible.

The guitar can go at a scream. It can yell at you.

I think my first instrument was a ukulele that they gave me. I used to know how to play that pretty well.
I can play rhythm guitar. I know how to hold a guitar and strum it.

I was always just kind of obsessed with guitar, even before I started playing.
I'm always happy with a guitar in my hand.
