My Musical Tastes Change Every Week.

When You're First Starting Out, There's Always The Temptation To Hide Behind Distortion Because It Lets You Get Away With Murder. But, When It Comes To Rhythm Work, You've Gotta Back Off That Gain Control A Bit, Especially If You're Playing With Another Guitarist.

If A Guitar Is Too Easy For Me To Play, It Makes Me Too Laid Back. I Like To Battle With My Guitar.

It's Definitely True That Stevie Ray Vaughan Is One Of My All-time Favorite Guitarists.

Ampeg Made Incredible Guitar Heads In The Early Nineties And Then Stopped. And I Don't Know Why. The One We Used Had A Nice Clean, Warm Sound, And It Blended Well With The Other Amps That Were In The Studio.

Musically, There's A Movement Called The Flatted Fifth That's Really Evil-sounding. It Was Outlawed By The Catholic Church During The Middle Ages. That Movement Is What Gives You A Real Evil Sound That Conjures Up Dark, Fantastic Images. It's Like An Audio Horror Movie. It Personifies What A Horror Movie Is About.
