I view life as a learning experience. It is not so much all about music; it is about what happens when you are doing the music.

It would be a dream come true if I could just go from studio to studio and play solos.

When you are live you never know what is going to happen.

I have made stage adjustments which allow me to hear myself better onstage so that has made playing live much more enjoyable.

If you are a musician and you dont show any interest on the business level then you are actually vulnerable and people will rip you off. They will sweet talk you into anything.

Even when I was very depressed, I could hold on to something. It seems that I have always had that streak of gold that I could hold on to.

I play with feeling so I need to hear what is coming out of the amplifier to inspire me; I dont just play mechanically. I need to hear what I am doing in order to create the next note. If I dont hear it then I cant feed myself.
