Usually, the best thing is when the band goes to the bar and gets the corner table, we sit there like kings, and then they bring people to us. It's just rock 'n' roll. It's stupid, really.

The most obvious thing you can't do with a guitar synthesizer is to really sound like a guitar.

If you're a guitarist, you should not be intimidated by using your instrument as a synthesizer, but you shouldn't feel that you have to own one, either.

Im better for it and I prefer to keep things simple and see what sounds I can get out of my head and hands rather than relying on a sound that someone else created.

It's hard to avoid the past but one goes forward.

Actually, I think my hands are in the best shape they've ever been in terms of what I can do.

If I'm playing a violin thing, for instance, I tend to respond to that sound with the way I finger.
