Every one of the songs was based around picking an acoustic guitar. That was part of the concept from the beginning, that the tempos were going to go from slow to almost mid-tempo.
I had 25 or 30 songs. Sequencing the record, I left that to the producer. I'm not into doing that stuff.
Rewriting to me means, if I work on it for three days, I've rewritten it.
I taught myself how to play when I was about 13. I'm a lefty.
You could put this record on and not get jarred half-way through. I wanted it to be all cut from one cloth, and that was the way we took it through the whole production process.
