At one point you had a Benedetto 7-string. Do you still play it?

No, but I love that guitar. I found that when I went back to playing my 6-strings it was a whole lot easier, because I’ve got small hands. Every once in a while I miss having the low Eb, but aside from that I don’t miss it. After all, Joe Pass did okay with just six strings [laughs]. It’s also difficult to go back and forth between six and seven. Howard Alden was the guy who turned me on to the 7-string, and he said, “When you get your guitar, put your 6-string away, and don’t go back and forth because it will take you forever to learn it.” He was right, because everything’s in a different place.
