Oh come on. The whole idea of punk rock is to grab a guitar and not get too complicated. People might become truly accomplished on their instruments only after they've already made a few great records. Classical is nothing like that. I hope Doug answers this one. I can keep up with him when he's talking about the Ramones, but not when he's talking about Bach.
