I learned a lot about lead; you don't have to blow your cookies in the first bar. It is much harder to be simple that to be complicated during solos.

All the different styles I've played have really helped me as a guitarist and helped me develop my own way of playing.

For me, practice isn't doing scales but doing things like writing, jamming with other people, or playing gigs.

Lots of times it really doesn't matter what notes you play, but what notes come before and after a run.

I want the new band to work together for a while, and when we're ready we'll invite every major record company to see us.

I'll hear something in my head, then eventually play it. But it's a subconscious thing. Most of the time I really don't know what I'm playing.

I have my own style, but it's different for each kind of music. There are certain little characteristic things every player has.
