Sitting around home I mostly play acoustic. I've got seven or eight guitars of various sorts, including a baritone. Sometimes at home, because a guitar is just lying around, that's the guitar I pick up rather than actually choosing something. I try to plan ahead for my laziness by leaving interesting things scattered about. If I leave a baritone guitar lying around, that's the one I'll pick up, and I'll start writing baritoney things.

I just like to entertain myself by sitting down and writing songs.

Well, first of all it's entertainment. That stops us becoming too pretentious or thinking we're great artists.

Amplifying acoustic instruments more than a little is really cheating, and everything becomes a compromise.

I try to make songs visual and tactile to kind of put you into the action.

I'm glad there are a lot of guitar players pursuing technique as diligently as they possibly can, because it leaves this whole other area open to people like me.
