A guitar is just theoretically built wrong. Each string is an interval of fourths, and then the B string is off. Theoretically, that's not right, all the strings should be off.

I don't really know what inspires me to write the music I do, but usually, the music will set the tone for the lyrics.

If I can help a kid discover a liking, or even a passion for music in their life, then that’s a wonderful thing.

The piano is a universal instrument. If you start there, learn your theory and how to read, you can go on to any other instrument.

I applied to Uncyclopedia Bassists, and was accepted!!

I destroyed a lot of guitars trying to get them to do what I wanted, but I learned something from every guitar I tore apart, and discovered even more things. Things like if the string is not straight from the bridge saddle to the nut, you're going to have friction.

It's funny, when bands or younger musicians ask me: 'So, what does it take to make it?' Well, first explain to me what you mean by 'making it': Do you want to be a rock star or do you want music to be your livelihood?
