My vocation is more in composition really than anything else - building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army, a guitar army.

My guitar playing touches so many different areas of the form, but the important thing is what it represents across the form.

I believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it.

I've played guitar in so many different styles, and I want to revisit them all.

I consider descending chromatic lines and arpeggiated chords basic skills learned by any student of the guitar.

Let me explain something about guitar playing. Everyone's got their own character, and that's the thing that's amazed me about guitar playing since the day I first picked it up. Everyone's approach to what can come out of six strings is different from another person, but it's all valid.
