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

I spend a lot of time working as a painter and in my studio I go from upstairs where I paint to downstairs where I play and record, so I get this thing crossing over.

It's hard to avoid the past but one goes forward.

You're on the stage and you've got all those people yelling at you, so you better be right in the moment, reacting to that. It's completely live and organic. Even 20 years later, it's the same thing. You may be even better on your instrument. Hopefully, you are.

Ive also just come off a year and a half playing acoustic shows which is fantastic for the hands, and changes your head a little bit.

My favorite sounds are the high, spacey ones that are very ambient.
