• Performing live versus performing to a backing track
• The origins of Fingerstyle Fursday
• The importance of learning music theory
• Why he resisted joining Instagram for a long time
• Why he makes his own thumb picks
• Harmonics (aka 'Sparkles') explained!
• The three biggest influences on his playing style
