I wanted all my solos to be something you could sing along with

Right now my taste is going more for things that are organic where the people are using all the sonic possibilities in interesting ways.

Something like trying to protect yourself all the time, things like trying to outwit fate. Those things can be the worst thing you can do for yourself.

You gotta constantly purify yourself, living in the city, around human beings. There might be people close to you who affect you inside yourself in such a corrupt way that it screws with your ability to do what you do. But if you make sure that the people who are close you are good people who are there for you and love you, you can create your temple everywhere you go.

Any guitar solo should reflect the music that it's soloing over and not just be existing in its own sort of little world.

So when I feel the spirit upon me it's something I don't take it for granted, and I don't think I'm solely responsible for these things.

I just like to switch things up all the time. Like when it comes to singing, I try to find a different character for each song.
