Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake guitarrist) shares a little bit of his life story and how heĀ got
into playing guitars in this music video from "Finish Line", opening track of his second studio album "Running Games".
A fantasy story was created to show his struggle in facing past experiences, and that playing guitar
had helped him to go through it.
