GT: Is there anyone’s playing (past or present) that you’re slightly jealous of, and why?
SM: Where do I start? a while back I was onstage with Joe Bonamassa, Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Albert Lee, Blues Saraceno – and that’s a great start! Seriously, look in almost any direction, and we’ll see amazing people, each with their own way of playing. For instance, yes, I’m slightly jealous of how easily John Petrucci can play some of the lines that he and Jordan Rudess write together; or I’m slightly jealous of how easily Pat Metheny can improvise over anything and make sound heavenly; or... Bottom line: Jealousy is no good for our lives, but do appreciate the fact that every player has a unique niche that they can do like no other.
