Guitar players get inward and analytical about their playing but when you start to get positive feedback from other players it makes you think that it is coming together.

Going to the Grammys, being nominated for a Grammy, that was a really big deal for me, for us as a band.

When we first started and started hitting new places for the first time, you kinda didn't know, because we were new. Sometimes we played tiny little clubs and sometimes we'd play a larger place.

We auditioned a lot of great drummers; every one of them was world class. We had a lot of fun playing with each of them and had some great jams. With Mike [Mangini] it was just something really special about what was going on.

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

Almost 15 with music, we have so many guitars that we developed over the years. The latest one is 'The Majesty' guitar, which I'm really proud of.

We have a storage close by where I live, that's very organised. My guitar tech, Matty organised it all, labeled everything.
