“My heart and soul are in the Stratocaster.”

Over the years but are far too elaborate to cover in one article.

Digital for storage and quickness.

Age 10. I joined the school marching band as a drummer.

King Crimson is never easy; it’s challenging. That’s why I like it.

I love drums and still play frequently.

Someone who plays all the instruments and teaches others.

My inspiration and usual subject matter: life.

Currently I’m working with Parker Fly on a new Midi guitar to arrive next year.

I was left with an urge to make the guitar sound like things it shouldn’t be able to sound like.

And taught myself to play because I wanted to write songs.

Yes, but don’t forget I also have the luxury of the worlds finest band when it gets lonely.

My favorite puzzle is trying to work out the parts myself, after all it is a solo effort.

Songs, ideas, even paintings are pouring out of me.

I’ve developed a large vocabulary of sounds each requiring certain physical techniques often combined with a specific effect box.

Nothing juices me up creatively like being in my own studio for an extended period.

I have no secrets; all of these things have been discussed at length in guitar magazines.

But my principle obsessions are still watching sitcoms and football.

I hear things my own way and I present them.

I went back to the stage because it was my way of dealing with the success I had, my way of coping.

And he was about my age, and he just, that finished off my guitar career, just like that, in one afternoon.

I occasionally get birthday cards from fans. But it’s often the same message: They hope it’s my last.

I do not hold God ransom to my success; whatever is his will is my way.

Today’s younger generation is no worse than my own.

I couldn’t keep pace, so I looked to do my own things.
