Favorite Album: Wes Montgomery's So Much Guitar
Favorite Song To Play On Guitar: That changes weekly or even daily. Usually it’s something new that I’m writing or arranging and getting it performance ready.
Dream Guitar: I have a dream guitar, which is a custom Martin 00-28 that was made for me in 2017. It fits my small hands, sounds amazing, and it’s gorgeous. I also have a dreamy jazz guitar: a Benedetto Andy, which is a 3/4-size hollowbody. My 1967 Guild X-50 is also a very special jazz guitar with a custom cutaway made for me by Jack O’Brien.
