The article from Guitar World discusses a humorous and relatable moment involving Mike Shinoda, the guitarist and producer of Linkin Park, and his daughter. Shinoda recalled an incident where he tried to offer his daughter guitar-playing advice, but she initially ignored him because she was unaware of his musical talents and fame. When Shinoda attempted to help her with a chord, she dismissed him, saying “Yeah, whatever. Cool Dad. Leave me alone.”
However, later that day, she came back to him asking for the same advice, which Shinoda found amusing. His wife later revealed that she had intervened by telling their daughter that it was worth listening to her father’s advice, but the daughter still questioned his expertise, asking “What does he know about performing?”
The story highlights the generational gap and the fact that Shinoda’s children, who were very young when Linkin Park last toured, do not have the same level of familiarity with their father’s music career. Despite this, Shinoda remains supportive and understanding, reflecting his humility and dedication to his family and music.
