Besides being a guitar player, I'm a big fan of the guitar. I love that damn instrument.

What I look for in music is artistry, sincerity, and simplicity, and Tom Waits has all of that. I want to make a connection to the creator.

So that's the challenge for me and that has always been the challenge - finding that melody, that riff, that thing that just lights me up and makes me feel like it's Christmas.

Play slow and perfect - that’s the way to becoming a virtuoso.

I don't believe in 'greatest'. I believe in favorites.

If you want to play something that you can't, you need to see and hear yourself doing it in your minds eye. It will start to happen

The only time I'm miserable is when I can't keep an instrument in tune.
