“I dabbled, I never learned anything else specifically. One of the best things I’ve ever done was I had to play bass. I was in a group with people that didn’t need a guitar player they needed someone to play bass and I think that made me more well-rounded as a guitar player because I had to learn to fit in with other people, whereas before that point I would do my own thing. It really gave me good insight into how a whole band plays together. That and I can also play the piano a little bit too. And for me it’s either jazz or something I write, something contemporary rock.”

“Usually it’s excitement and anticipation. I get really excited when a new idea pops into my head and I like to make things my own as I go along even when I’m playing someone else’s music and so there’s parts that I’m really excited for because I like how they sound together.”
