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

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.

... you watch Jimi Hendrix literally reinvent the instrument. He was playing from somewhere else. He was really a kind of hybrid, and I can't even begin to imagine where he came from

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

I designed a guitar for Ibanez and then they started manufacturing it - it's called the Jem - it's 26 years old and I still play it. As a kid I liked Les Pauls and Strats, but they had limitations for the kind of playing I wanted to do.

Acting, at least for me, is very unreal, and when I'm doing it, I actually feel embarrassed.

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