Thanks for all the funky music!
One aspect of your playing/soloing that a lot of people appreciate is that it moves, grooves and swings... the note choices, the feel... it's all there.
What advice would you give to someone who is trying to incorporate these aspects to their playing?
Thanks!
What impresses me the most is having an identifiable sound. I am very un-excited by people who are great at the execution, but don't have their own sound.

I'd like to get my career to the point where I can pick and choose all the artists and talent I work with. There are a lot of artists out there that I could learn from.

All of us appreciate the artists taking the time as well as Evan and all at Duncan for giving us this opportunity.

I've always wondered this, for professionals who rely on a beefy, saturated tone, especially.
Is there truly no substitute for a mean amp turned up to 11?
P.S. Your playing is just absolutely fun to listen to --- you're one of the only players in the world where I know whatever I listen to will be FUN. So thanks!

In the studio, there's definitely a substitute to a mean amp turned up to 11. Live, not as much.
The people who have followed my career from the beginning, I take their comments to heart. So I really appreciate when people like you "get it."

Definitely different rules apply for live work. It all comes down to this: I need to be loud!

Do you still get the same feeling when you pick up the guitar today as you did when you first started playing, or has your relationship with it changed?

What is your favorite guitar right now and what kinds of pickups do you have in it? On a side note, I was always jealous of you because we are about the same age and you had already made a name for yourself as a teenager. How much was practice and how much was talent?
Colby
As to your other question, I would say it was 25% talent, 25% practice, 25% opportunity and 25% pesistence. As a side note, my career has always been about making the best out of whatever shows up.
