What interested me about chuck berry was the way he could step out of the rhythm part with such ease, throwing in a nice, simple riff, and then drop straight into the feel of it again. we used to play a lot more rhythm stuff. we'd do away with the differences between lead and rhythm guitar. you can't go into a shop and ask for a "lead guitar". you're a guitar player, and you play a guitar.

The rhythm is below me, the rhythm of the heat. the rhythm is around me, the rhythm has control. the rhythm is inside me, the rhythm has my soul.

I feel my spot is somewhere between a bass player and a rhythm guitar player. i play with a pick. i play very aggressively. i always have a distortion pedal in line, and i play less melodies and do more stuff against the guitars that create melodies.

Well, it grow together. it's like, first time i try to write a song is the first time i try to play the guitar. and so i can write a song without the guitar. but it really grow together. i really like stay with my guitar. but it just happen, is the inspiration come through man. because, i personally, it look like, could i write a whole heap a tune, it look like. but i pick special tune to write. cause a man can think of plenty things. yuh know wah ah mean.

I can't remember the first song i learned to play on bass, but the first song i learned to play on guitar was 'for your love' by the yardbirds. that kind of was the beginning for me. i thought it was a great song and i loved the open chord progression at the beginning of that song.

The gut-strung guitar, the classical guitar, that is a whole different world on its own. when you think what the guitar can do and what every individual player does with a guitar, everyone has their own identity coming through the guitar.

Jeremy, perry, andre, steve and reggie, grant, you guys make me so much better without you even knowing man. 'cause i know i set the example for y'all. i know there's days where i have my bad days, and i say some words i'm not supposed to say sometimes, but when i need an extra push, you guys are there man. and i appreciate that. i appreciate that because i'm not always the best leader, i'm not always the best player, i don't always shoot the best in the games, but, our little handshakes that we do before the game, that gets me going.

Christianity affects your whole life. i feel i'm more competitive, a better player, but off the field is where there is always a battle.
