The most obvious thing you can't do with a guitar synthesizer is to really sound like a guitar.

If you're a guitarist, you should not be intimidated by using your instrument as a synthesizer, but you shouldn't feel that you have to own one, either.

For me, the guitar synthesizer is a great writing instrument.

I trained as a classical guitarist but that was it.

Creating sounds together with other musicians is something I've always liked doing.

It's been very hard for the guitar as a serious synthesizer to compete with keyboards.

I started out as a guitarist in the early '80s.

I've studied several guitar players and songwriters, mostly from Al di Meola to Dimebag Darrell, from Freddie Mercury of Queen to Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and Bradley Nowell of Sublime.
