I'm surrounded by great guitar players.

I play the guitar and the piano and have a group of guys who I play with. They're uber talented.

When I joined the band, being that I was going to take this up as a profession, I realized that there were no two finer guitar players in the world that I'd rather play with.

I love working with different musicians in the studio, that's a real joy working with someone for the first time.

I like to work with artists who are as wide in their musical taste as I am.

I get asked, 'Who would you really like to work with?' I'm already working with them. Smart, talented, funny people, good musicians, an extended family, good friends.

And they kind of left to find a guitar player at the very end, so you know, I don't really take it as any slight that I wasn't able to play on the record. It's flattering just to play with them period.

I'd like to actually work with a lot of other people, and whether it's someone who is completely unknown who I love and think is a talent, maybe I'll work with them, or, like, maybe I'll work with some of the biggest pop stars and write music for them.

I'm glad there are a lot of guitar players pursuing technique as diligently as they possibly can, because it leaves this whole other area open to people like me.

Great guitar players are a dime a dozen. It is sometimes your very limitations as players that set you apart from the crowd.
