Great interview! I’m disabled from an accident I had 20 years ago when I was 22. I started playing guitar nearly 4 years ago and couldn’t do some of the things I was learning “correctly — so I struggled until I decided to find my own ways of making guitar work for me whether by making my own techniques and/or fashioning my own gadgets. I’m not good enough to shred, but I’ve gotten much farther in my playing than I could have ever imagined just by doing many things a little bit differently. I’m glad there are players like Steve Morse who do the same thing at a pro level. I am certain Steve inspires other players out there who are disabled, have aging hands, or just want to try some new ideas. I know there are people out there who like to say techniques should be done like this or that, but I feel there really don’t have to be rules about how to approach the instrument — if it sounds good and the guitarist enjoys what they’re doing, who cares how they’re getting to the end point?! 🤘🏻🎸❤️🔥

Steve Morse is one of my musical heroes and is awesome to see how positive and strong he is with all the things he's going through. During the hardest period of my life his music kind of saved me. In that period (2007-08) I would hear his album High Tension Wires everyday. It was like having a ray of sunlight amongst all the darkness I was passing. Today I understand that the love and positive attitude his music gave me was a result of his kindness and gentle heart. Total respect and admiration for all the effort he's put into the music and guitar. Wish him all the best, he's way more than a guitar player.

This man helped re-awaken Kansas during some very trying times for the hard-working band, after its one real hiatus. He rocked, which was the direction (from progressive) that Steve Walsh and Billy Greer shifting towards, but was also a bridge between classic Kansas and all the great music the band would create in the years to come. For that alone he is #1 in my estimation.

"I am a writter and I happen to play guitar." I've always admired Steve's analytical mind for noticing what he needs to get better at and devising a way to learn it. Now he's applying that same strength to mitigating the limits of growing older. He mindful of the constraints, and plans to write within them. I somehow missed that detail in my half dozen times through the full interview, but now I feel like I've got something to look forward to.

I don't know Steve Morse' music very well, but he's definitely an amazing player. Classics with The Dregs like "On The Pipe" are forever etched in memory. I love many of Steve's playing elements - the funky use of chromaticism, the harmonics and squeals, etc. There's a lot to love. Hearing him talk about some of the deficits that have set in due to aging and arthritis gives me a mixture of warmth and sadness; I can relate as I age but also a feeling of sadness that these Gods of our musical lives can't forever play like they once did - or at least, can't do the same technical moves as before.
