Dragonforce guitarist Herman Li has drastically downplayed his status as one of metal's greatest and most celebrated shredders in a new interview with Metal Hammer. Speaking to Hammer in their latest issue, starring Judas Priest icon Rob Halford on the cover, Li is asked where the creativity for his famously long guitar solos comes from.
Taking a humble stance in his answer, Dragonforce's founding member replies: “I don’t think I’m the smartest guy in the room. I’m definitely not the best guitar player – I’m not in the top thousand in this world. But I want to get better. That’s how the creativity came around, because the amount of knowledge in the guitar world is unlimited – so I’m always learning.”
