This week on\xa0Here\u2019s the Thing, Alec talks with Grammy-winning guitarist Peter Frampton. \u201cSound is very inspirational to me,\u201d explains Frampton \u2013 and it always has been: he started playing guitar before he was 8 years old.

Frampton talks about his musical roots in England, playing in bands like The Preachers and The Herd. At age 14 he was playing at a recording session produced by Bill Wyman, who he says is \u201csort of like my mentor, my older brother.\u201d Eleven years later, Frampton was on stage in San Francisco, recording "Frampton Comes Alive," one of the biggest selling live albums of all times.

Frampton also talks about the challenges of his extraordinary success: \u201cI don\u2019t think anybody can be ready for that kind of success,\u201d explains Frampton.

Peter Frampton recently completed a 35th\xa0anniversary tour of\xa0Frampton Comes Alive\xa0\u2013 a DVD will be available later this year.\xa0
