I don't like playing standards. I like to do my own cutting edge work.

I like to play with someone who can cover a lot of ground and someone with whom you can discuss the language at a reasonable level; otherwise it gets a bit frustrating.

Start with the titles, and then build the music that goes with them.

I don't go out much to see bands. I prefer to be on stage.

What I wanted to do was play the guitar but I don't like instrumental rock. I think it is tripe.

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.

I'm just trying to avoid any sort of generic kind of music - I don't want to do generic jazz or fusion.
