Digital for storage and quickness. Analog for fatness and warmth.

As much as I love performing, nothing juices me up creatively like being in my own studio for an extended period. Songs, ideas, even paintings are pouring out of me. My inspiration and usual subject matter: life.

DUST includes rarities, demos, unreleased songs and instrumentals, live recordings, and more.

I have no secrets; all of these things have been discussed at length in guitar magazines over the years but are far too elaborate to cover in one article.

As you can appreciate over my lifetime I've developed a large vocabulary of sounds each requiring certain physical techniques often combined with a specific effect box.

I thought I might be a band instructor, someone who plays all the instruments and teaches others.

Yes, but don't forget I also have the luxury of the worlds finest band when it gets lonely.
