My past is very interesting, and I treasure it, but to write about it, it's just not on my radar.

It's always funny to me when people use the phrase 'Best guitar player in the world'. There are too many variables such as technique, uniqueness, emotional investment in the notes, etc. But If I had to pick one, it would be Tommy Emmanuel. Watching him perform can be a study in artistic and virtuosic human achievement.

The cool thing about playing is that the more you do it, the better you get.

I have a deep love for life and my fellow human beings. I try to understand everything that everybody does, even if it seems wrong to me.

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

Along with its enchanting and exquisite melodies, West Side Story has attitude and a tremendous amount of frenetic energy. It's emotional, theatrical and technical. It's everything.

The older I get, the more I just like plugging directly into my amp. I'm tired of trying to impress myself with weird sounds. It's about the notes more.
