JAKARTA - Sheila On 7 guitarist, Eross Candra, has his own advice for guitarists to determine the right instrument.
According to him, a guitar for a guitarist is based on the unique experience of each individual. Therefore, an instrument that is suitable for one person is not necessarily suitable for others.
"The name of the guitar is directly related to your physicality. So, there is no theory that because I am suitable, you must be suitable. Not necessarily," said Eross to the media at Semanggi, South Jakarta, recently.
As for Eross, choosing the right guitar must go through a self-conducted search process, and not necessarily look at the brand of the product.
"So everything has to be tried. Don't look at the brand. If you are suitable, you like it, yes, that's your soulmate," he added. "So there is no term if I am suitable, you must be suitable. There is no such term."
Furthermore, the 46-year-old musician revealed his admiration for God Bless guitarist Ian Antono, who has been his role model since he first started playing guitar.
"If the first one is definitely Om Ian Antono. He didn't inspire me to learn technical, but inspired me in terms of style. That's the most important thing. So, I learned that, the style of the guitar first, then I learned the technicality," he said.
"If the technical side, I was inspired by Pay, and there was also Mas Dewa Budjana," continued Eross.
"I used to often bring Gigi's songs and win festivals, because Gigi's songs are hard. So Sheila On 7 was helped by Gigi's songs, because winning the festival, the money could make a demo to make your own songs. And there is Mas Andra too, I brought Dewa's song. Yes, that's the top four," he concluded.
