I think the fundamental part of my technique is my vibrato.

I go through about two Fender mediums a night because I don't pick straight down; it's sort of sideways, and it shaves them off.

I use a combination of all my influences on my albums.

There's more power in the simpler things, I think.

I can't say I feel influenced by today's guitar players.

It's impossible to play a run with as much feeling as a single note. I've never been so much into runs as making single notes cry.

During my early period I had custom-made overdrive stuff because I didn't like what they were making at the time.
