Jordi Prats

Which instrument do you play and when did you start?

I play the guitar since I was 14 years, but it was really at the age of 16 when a good friend of mine, Tomas, also guitar player, showed me the best kept secret: the pentatonic scale. From that moment, I haven’t played anything else (laughs...).

What was the first gig you’ve seen and how do you remember it?

I’m not sure but I think it was Genesis in Barcelona at the Monumental, in 1981 or 1982. I think I had the same feeling that I have felt many times after that: I want to be on that stage too!!

Some cd’s you couldn’t live without.

And more the less 200 records more! To be honest, I could live without any cd, but I couldn’t live without any guitar nearby.

Music you like to listen while driving your car.

Coldplay, Alanis Morrisette, Erik Truffaz, Blackfield, Radiohead, Pat Metheny, Björk, John Scofield...

They can wake you at 4 am to…

No one wakes me at 4 am: Or I am awake already, or I am a mineral.
