…I love playing different styles. You know there are tons and tons of shredders, and things like that, but I wanted to do something a little different, so I incorporated different styles of music. Like blue grass, and country and things like that, which not a lot of other heavy metal guitar players have done. I think about everything before I do something, and I thought, ‘Well, how will I get looked at and taken seriously?’ I did something completely different that no one has done, because I didn’t want to be another guitar player thrown in the pile. I love it, too. I just really, really enjoy playing those styles.
