I wanted to be a blues guitar player. And a singer. And a songwriter. Not a shock jock. ↗

A guitar for me is pretty much strictly in the context of writing songs for my band, coming up with ideas with my band, and then being able to perform those songs as best as I can on stage - that's what the guitar for me has always been. ↗

I could care less about sitting around and practicing the guitar for hours a day and trying to be the best guitar player on the planet. ↗

Experimenting with different sounds is great, but when it comes down to it, you're still playing a guitar. ↗
