I really rely a lot more on memory. I'm definitely not as good of a sight reader.

I'm a member of the Recording Academy and I see the way it works and even with the whole voting process it's broken down into specific categories. There are Pop categories and Dance and Rock and Metal and Film and Score and everything else. Basically when you are voting you are urged not to vote in the category that you don't know anything about.

As far as bands doing that in a way where they think they're going to fight the government, the only people they're really hurting is the fans.

With all tools at my disposal, I'm 100% into chasing tone and checking out new equipment and "geeking" out during sound check by taking too much time.

You try to play the song better than you had before.

I went straight out of high school, and when I was 17, all I wanted to do was play guitar.

My main objective with a home studio - I could get into doing full band demos - but my first objective is to cut things like guitar tracks and solos at home.
