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.

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

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.

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

I didn't make my first solo record until 1981 so I don't have any 60′s or 70′s recordings but I am working on a large boxed set called DUST to be released next year, the 20th anniversary of my first solo record.

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

Age 10. I joined the school marching band as a drummer.
