![]() So you still do, still rip stuff off.īut that's what influence is I think. So I went from there.Īnd I think you then try and emulate what are they doing? How are they creating what I'm feeling? And why am I feeling these things from the music they're playing? How are they creating these emotions through music? And how can I emulate that? Not only what the notes they're playing, but how can I do that in my own songwriting and create my own? And I think initially the songs you write are complete rip-offs, maybe with different lyrics that I was coming up with, just to put things together and figure out how things work together, melodies and harmonies. And I can understand it and it was harder it was fast. There were elements of that which became Metallica for me. ![]() And then as you grow older, I found that Thin Lizzy became Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, the double guitar type stuff, Sabbath. ![]() And then stop it and whatever.Īnd then as your kind of knowledge and vocabulary grows you know where the notes are that you're hearing and where they are on the neck, and then you kind of progress onto different things like UFO, Thin Lizzy, all my father's influence, Black Sabbath, as I said, Purple, that sort of stuff. You'd pick up the needle and put it back and literally note for note it was an arduous process. So it's like, how can I emulate this? So initially it was trying to learn Jimmy tracks from the vinyl. And as I said, as a 7-year-old kid, you don't really think too much about it, it's just the impact that hits you. And then from there, I think around seven or just before my eighth birthday, I've got my first guitar for Christmas.īut I think initially it was Hendrix that kind of turned me on to not only the audio side of things, but the visual performance. He let us borrow that, and I remember learning a couple of chords on there. It was like a Gibson double cut type thing, and he'd painted it like a fluorescent orange color and then sprayed it with blue and yellow and reds and greens, and it was this punky looking guitar. And he lent us, it was like a double cut. And he was a Hendrix fanatic, and he had this white Start. He was in a band called the Angelic Upstarts, and it was like a punky rock band. And I remember he had a friend of his called Tony. We didn't have a guitar in the house, but my father had friends around town that were great guitar players. It's one of those things that's just become a natural part of every minute of every day. It really is that intrinsic to who I am as a person. The Magic next play on Friday night against the Bulls.Guitar playing to me is pretty much everything. Isaac has appeared in nine games so far this season. He’s been with the team since then, although he’s missed most or all of several seasons due to injury. Isaac, whose full name is Jonathan Judah Isaac, played high school in Florida and college basketball at Florida State before being drafted by the Orlando Magic with the sixth pick in the 2017 NBA draft. “I’m trying to be true to who I am and I’ve asked that of everyone I’m around,” he said. When it comes to gelling with his Magic teammates, Isaac said he feels like they try to respect his religious and political perspectives, just as he tries to respect theirs. They can believe what they want to believe, and I’ll do the same.” “I don’t care what others think or what they say. Those situations “helped produce calluses,” Isaac told the Deseret News. (Isaac later told reporters that he was “badly misrepresented” but confirmed that he thought people shouldn’t be “forced into” getting the COVID-19 vaccine.) He’s also tried not to let the opinions of others influence his actions, which is part of how he became the only NBA player to stand during the national anthem after the league resumed play in the “bubble” after pausing the 2019-20 season during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.Īnd his faith helped him cope when he faced intense backlash in September 2021 after a Rolling Stone article claimed he was anti-vax. “What I’ve tried my best to do is allow my faith to lead.” But I would say I’m comfortable,” he said. Isaac said he doesn’t mind if his comments about his new shoe or Unitus make him seem like a culture warrior. Wishing him success as he adds to Florida’s #1 state economy. We need more leaders like him who stand strong when others bend the knee to the ‘PC police’. Proud of Jonathan and his launching of a Florida business.
