I was left with an urge to make the guitar sound like things it shouldn't be able to sound like.

Digital for storage and quickness. Analog for fatness and warmth.

Age 10. I joined the school marching band as a drummer.

I borrowed a guitar at age 16 and taught myself to play because I wanted to write songs.

Yes, but don't forget I also have the luxury of the worlds finest band when it gets lonely.

I thought I might be a band instructor, someone who plays all the instruments and teaches others.

Currently I'm working with Parker Fly on a new Midi guitar to arrive next year.

King Crimson is never easy; it's challenging. That's why I like it.

I have no secrets; all of these things have been discussed at length in guitar magazines over the years but are far too elaborate to cover in one article.

DUST includes rarities, demos, unreleased songs and instrumentals, live recordings, and more.

As you can appreciate over my lifetime I've developed a large vocabulary of sounds each requiring certain physical techniques often combined with a specific effect box.

This form of love is like the painof childbirth: so intenseit's hard to remember afterwards,

Feelings have the divine attracting power. Feelings are the only link between you and everything around you.

Long tresses down to the floor can be beautiful, but learn to love what you have.

Learn how to cook. Read books that will educate you. Get an education. Get a career. And support yourself. And live in a section of town that isn't conducive to violence.

For you cannot have gentility without paying for it.

Don't spend your precious time asking "Why isn't the world a better place?" It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is "How can I make it better?" To that there is an answer.

Now is the only time there is... Make your now wow, your minutes miracles, and your days pay!

I take it that reasonable human conduct is part of the ordinary course of things.

That's the way it goes. Some things happen and some things don't. This one is obviously just wasn't meant to be. Except deep down... I still believe it was.
