Sometimes the nicest thing to do with a guitar is just look at it.

I like to think about stringing songs together like a string of pearls, or a string of beads, but ultimately it has to be stuff that really works with the band, and gives a spin to the older material.

I think people will always love a heavy Sabbath riff because it's fundamental to rock.

Every guitar I own gets used and has its purpose.

It's always a pleasure when you can compose guitar parts from a strong vocal and not just put the melody on top of guitar riffs.

Generally my songs are just some riffs slung together as an excuse for a guitar solo.

I play a couple basic folks songs and break them down. I did that on a six string. I can't recall all the songs on it. There's some finger picking on it.

I have no guitar technique.

Tone on jazz guitars is a real tough issue.

Occasionally, when I run into a great bass backstage at a festival I'll play a few notes on the low E string, just to feel the instrument vibrate against my belly.
