My guitar playing is a synthesis of traditional American acoustic style and Urban Pop and R&B.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Experimenting with different sounds is great, but when it comes down to it, you're still playing a guitar.
I have one custom guitar which I play almost exclusively. I have others - sometimes you want a little texture, kind of a different sound or something.
I've played guitar in so many different styles, and I want to revisit them all.
Still others want a traditional guitar sound if they call you for guitar.
I write alternative, folkie pop. It's very acoustic.
I just want to be a better guitar player, really.
I don't play a lot of fancy guitar. I don't want to play it. The kind of guitar I want to play is mean, mean licks.
I use Gibson guitars; I prefer the Les Paul custom.
My guitar is a mutation between a classic Fender Stratocaster guitar, which I played for years, and a Gibson solid-body like an SG or a Les Paul. It contains all sounds of the basic classic rock n' roll guitars. It does what I want it to do.
I do the protest stuff. I do country and western. I play both acoustic and electric guitar in a lot of different styles, from loud, psychedelic stuff to quiet finger-picking.
