Dave Baksh and Tom Thacker are the guitar team behind SUM 41–a band that has made a career out of fusing urgent pop punk with thrashy metal riffs and making music that embraces Slayer and NOFX in equal measure. In this APTV exclusive, Baksh and Thacker talk all things guitar and why the Joe Strummer quote "if you can't dance to it, I don't want to play it" is the driving mantra behind their approach to the instrument. Baksh and Thacker also play through some of the first riffs they ever learned, explain the early unorthodox ways Baksh tried to play his instrument and shred some Iron Maiden through a MacBook Pro. This is a must watch for any guitar player.
