State-of-the-art, tubed power amps, Altec speakers. I mean, I grew up listening to music in the best tonal environment."〔 He wanted to play guitar as early as the age of four, and began playing around the age of seven when his father bought one for the home. He learned open chords,〔 periodically playing for fun and taking occasional lessons. He also began playing drums, taking the instrument seriously and playing with friends in a band. At the age of fifteen he picked up guitar again, gigging within the first week with his first band.〔 He continued to play and practice, stating "It was then that I decided I wanted to take a crack at being a musician, because it seemed to be the most rewarding pursuit at that time for my life."〔 After forming a band with friends, he switched from playing drums to lead guitar because the band "had too many drummers."〔 He moved to Seattle to attend highschool, and later graduated college with a BA from the University of Washington.〔 He began working as an independent musician and composer in January 1992.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scott Law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
