King Crimson is never easy; it's challenging. That's why I like it.

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.

I love drums and still play frequently.

Currently I'm working with Parker Fly on a new Midi guitar to arrive next year.

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

My favorite puzzle is trying to work out the parts myself, after all it is a solo effort.

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.
