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

I've become more interested in creating a band sound than trying to outshine the other guys.

That's what I miss out of all this synthesized music - it starts to lose dynamics.

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

If the guitar synthesizer is really going to stand as a synthesizer on its own, it needs to develop a more characteristic sound; I don' think it's gotten there yet.

I consider my music to be Progressive Synth Pop, which says nothing about what it sounds like, but does describe my basic approach.

It's a 360-degree sound experience. Like you're in the middle of the band. A lot of people have the technology to play the format, so why not put it out there. It sounds great.

It is at least 10 times more difficult to get a good synthesiser sound than on an acoustic instrument.

That's the thing I like about my sound. It's real raw and very unsafe compared to a solid state kind of sound.

I agree totally with Metheny regarding the sound influencing the way you play.
