We were like psychedelic folk combined with Sonic Youth's noise.

Experimenting with different sounds is great, but when it comes down to it, you're still playing a guitar.

If you make it sound too much like a synth, it will just sound like a guitar part played on a synth.

Trent likes to record guitars direct, whereas I've always preferred playing through an amplifier.

Micing it from two different angles in front of the speaker sounds huge, and it's so simple.

It all begins with the initial tone coming from the cabinet, but EQ at the board is very important.

Nobody seems to play Yamaha electrics, but it's the best guitar I own.

I'm open to getting more equipment, but I really won't have time to look into that until after the tour.

I have about nine guitars in all, so obviously I'm into collecting.

I even have a Harmony Rocket and a Stratocaster with a scalloped neck back in Florida.
