I find that traditional guitars offer a clearer and more colorful sound compared to double tops, which can sometimes sacrifice tone for volume.

I find that different guitars require subtle adjustments in technique to produce the optimal sound.

I practice on the guitar I will travel with to adapt to its unique sound and feel before performances.

I find that collaborating with different musicians helps me think about instruments in new ways, especially since a significant portion of my music features guitar.

Some well-known guitarists, like Segovia and Julian Bream, are recognized for their tones, which are actually quite bright rather than dark, contrary to popular belief. I choose to play with a bright and direct tone because it helps the musical line appear to ascend, making it clearer and more impactful.

I recently wrote a chamber piece for John Williams that includes two guitars, violin, double bass, and percussion, which has been performed multiple times.

Every classical guitarist has a different tone; many prefer a round and dark tone, while I choose a very direct and bright tone to ensure everyone in the hall can hear the music clearly.

The church where I recorded has a unique acoustic quality due to its mix of brick and wood, which enhances the guitar's sound.

I touch the guitar every day, and on normal days at home, I practice for about four hours.
