He provides, “I’m not very conscious of that, to be trustworthy. I feel the guitar, to me, is at all times secondary to the tune. It’s not an excuse to go in and showcase. It’s a approach of enhancing no matter materials you’re utilizing. So I’m at all times attempting to coax totally different textures out of it – totally different sounds, totally different strikes.”
