"We never thought about the recording process, of how we were going to cut it with drums and bass, then add this later. We just went in and played live. That's what 'Escape' is and pretty much all of our records." In this episode, Neal Schon, lead guitarist of Journey discusses his history with guitar and early influences, Journey's unique writing process, and how his natural abilities led him humbly through his career.
