My center is not really my singing so much as my guitar playing.

Guitar playing isn't really for everybody.

My foundation is acoustic guitar, and it is finger-picking and all of that and sort of an orchestral style of playing. Lead guitar came later, more out of the necessity to do so because of expectations in a particular situation.

I started playing the guitar and singing at about 11 or 12.

Guitar playing is just something that came to me and is really second nature now.

I really respect Zakk Wylde's guitar playing and his compulsive work ethic.
