Solos I kind of [couldn't] care less about. I know most people probably think that's what I care most about, but it's really the melody playing that is the cornerstone of what I'm working on.

My inspirations don't come from outer space, they just come to me. I have no idea why they come when they do.

Relax. Be yourself. Play a lot.

When you hear something you don't like, don't ever play it again.

Just as a blues player can play 20 blues songs in a row but find a way to make each one different, ... I always want to find different ways to do something

I can embarrass myself very easily on guitar. It's funny because people say to me I can play anything; I'm God on the guitar. But I could make a big list of everything I can't play... I'm grateful that people don't notice that.

I'm ready to take the heat.
