When you're a guitar teacher, you teach people for a few years, and you become comrades after a while. Because everybody eventually catches up to everybody else, and you want to help each other out - to see if you can make the dream a reality.

It's funny how you can struggle with one piece and write a better one in a minute. When things come easy, it means it's good.

Basic anatomy. That has got to be the ongoing frustration: Why can't my fingers do what I want them to do? Not being able to play what I hear in my head - that is the ultimate source of frustration.

I write the songs first and in most cases teach myself the technique second.

Each artist attracts his own different set of fans. And G3 over the years has created it's own audience as well... they know it's something unusual and special that they're not going to get anywhere else ... young and old, both sexes, all come out. They all look at each other like, Wow, what are those people over there ? ... They're surprised at their own diversity.

When you think about where guitar playing is going today...: it's going everywhere at the same time.

I pride myself on being incorrigible. I have a very hard time being told what to do.
