My guitar is my canvas. When I play, it's like a big painting, and I have all these different colors to choose from. Like, I've got a little B.B. King color, a little Stevie Ray color, a little Jimi Hendrix, and a little Ritchie Valens, and when I mix them together, that's what makes me. I'm not afraid to say those guys are my influences and my teachers. I'm not trying to be those guys, but I definitely learn from them every time I hear their music.
