I had been playing single note instruments and I wanted to hear a guitar played as a piano.

I do have a library of events I can talk about and I always expect to find a different point of view on it so even if I talk about the same event in the same town it's fresh.

With all these great (guitar teachers) around here, don't cop their licks, COP THEIR ATTITUDE.

The first music I was exposed to was Stravinsky and I loved it but I don't remember it.

I have always thought of myself as a performer first and way down the line as a recording artist.

You can't really tell what the audience wants but you can tell what will keep everybody's attention in the same place.

The bulk of my set is instrumental and you have to give yourself and the audience some relief because a performance is not about great guitar playing it's really about entertainment.
