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.

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.

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

It's exciting to see if you can create something that sounds, at least to your own ears, exciting.

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

I think rock records tend to be very expensive.

Of course the playing is important but writing and the establishing of what you are going for is prime too.
