On teaching guitar:
“I teach when I’m not on tour and even sometimes when I am on tour via Skype. I’m quite dedicated to my students, as I’m sure I learned that from Randy Rhoads. I find that I actually “learn” myself from my students. They challenge me to teach them new songs I’ve never heard or very complicated finger-picking tunes that take a long time for me to actually learn! It’s been a real treasure being able to pass on any tricks or tips, get them ready for shows, etc. I don’t have children, so all my students no matter what age they are – are like my kids. I am so proud of each of them!”
