“I do believe it’s the simplicity of what I do that is the inspiration. I believe that when people actually pick up a guitar for the first time, the feeling and that attraction they have - I think is what I had originally with the power chord. When I discovered the power chord, I already knew at that moment, I could write the music I like.” The latest String Theory ft. Steph Carpenter is here! Watch as we speak with him about his relationship with the power chord and the simplicity that helped influence the diverse sound of Deftones.
