You hear a great Art Blakey drum solo or Elvin Jones, and you can tell when they're taking a breath. You can tell when they're loading up for something big. There's just this humanity in it, and I think that's important as well.

When I had the idea to build a home studio, the purpose was to start making records.

Slide can sound like the most beautiful woman's voice.

Well I've been playing an SG forever, and I've got some other vintage Gibsons I like to use in the studio.
