I can tell you this: I'm an extremely passionate individual. I try to be careful how I display it because you never know how people are going to take it.

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

Find what you're best at and exaggerate it.

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.

Most people are fascinated to see someone play an instrument in an inspired way. We are moved by witnessing musical brilliance, and it was this notion that led me to purchase the GuitarTV domain 10 years ago.

I saw this trend happening with the proliferation of guitar clinics and schools. And I was approached to do a camp in the past, but I wanted to have a good enough idea because most of them are just about jamming and learning. I decided I wanted a theme for each camp.

I'm always pursuing knowledge; I'm a seeker of spiritual equilibrium - and music is a big part of that.
