Guitar playing is both extremely easy for me and extremely difficult for me at the same time.

Although I'm a lead guitarist, I'd say that a good 95 percent of my time onstage is spent playing rhythm.

I'm death obsessed. You know, I have death all over my house. I have a stuffed two headed sheep!

Just because you know umpteen billion scales, it doesn't mean you have to use them all in a solo.

Guitar players in the nineties seem to be reacting against the technique oriented eighties.

Ampeg made incredible guitar heads in the early Nineties and then stopped. And I don't know why. The one we used had a nice clean, warm sound, and it blended well with the other amps that were in the studio.

After months of playing air guitar to 'Free Bird', what really got me into guitar was watching a documentary about Jimi Hendrix and picking up the Woodstock soundtrack. Listening to his version of 'Star Spangled Banner' and 'Purple Haze.' My brother played acoustic guitar and, idolising him, I thought, 'I'm going to get a guitar.'
