I'm not saying I wouldn't play a seven-string. It's just that I've never needed one. Most dudes who play seven-strings don't sound any different than someone playing a six-string that's tuned down.

To get my sound in the studio, I double guitar tracks, and when it gets to the lead parts, the rhythm drops out, just like it's live. I'm very conscious of that.

We still get those kind of cats coming out to our shows. Once you're into it, you're into it for a lifetime.

Always have a collection of your favorite CDs with you.

I was lucky enough to get to see guys like Bugs Henderson, Jimmy Wallace, all those great Texas blues players.

It kills me when I see some metal band trying to pass themselves off as an 'alternative band.

The worst advice I ever received from my dad was to play by the book.
