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

Once I was playing and moving around and I fell right on my back. Just straight on my back. It was the most embarrassing moment of my life.

I don't like English bands. They're too structured.

A lot of times I wish I would have learned to read music, but I'm very impatient.

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.

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

My family were all musicians. I really wasn't interested in school or anything.
