The guitar part is the pivot of everything we do, so if you change the guitar part you no longer have what it is.

My songs are more arrangements than they are songs.

The first real thing I heard was Three O'Clock Blues by B.B. King. That's where it all began for me.

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

I've got very strong hands from playing for many years.

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

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