Guitar playing isn't really for everybody.

I changed my mindset and figured, Why not try to be really entertaining instrumentally?

When they say you're the best, I always remember that the majority of the audience probably thinks someone else should have gotten the award.

When Ray Flacke came out, it was like 'What in the heck is this?' ... there's a guy who had that Tele players attitude, and he plugged straight into that amp with a delay, and it was unbelievable the way he would bend those big strings ... he was really unique.

I imagine there's a market for total depression. I grew up on George Jones and that really dark stuff.

Well one thing's for sure.. all you really need is love.

It comes down to building your own world out here on the road. It's who you surround yourself with. My band and crew are really positive guys.
