I started playing guitar when I was 12 and probably from that age knew that I wanted to make music and make my own music. Playing with other bands like the Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens was more like an apprenticeship for me than anything.
I just love playing guitar, so that's what I'm going to do.
I guess trying to throw my body into the guitar is so natural for me that I don't even know how to explain it. I can't imagine life without it.
Guitar is just something I can do. So much of it now is muscle memory, just instinct.
I was always just kind of obsessed with guitar, even before I started playing.
