His most utilized guitar is an Ibanez Universe. Thompson has been playing guitar since 1981, and without beating around the bush reveals his career aspiration, "To continue recording and releasing CDs, with each being an improvement on the previous."
When asked to divulge his ultimate effect for the guitar, Thompson responded by saying, "Digitech 2112," and continued by mentioning his musicial goals, "To continue recording music that I'm happy with and other can enjoy." He eagerly hopes to one day study history, especially American history and culture, and is presently listening to Steve Vai, Allan Holdsworth (live in Japan), Dream Theater and other independent artists. His principal fulfillment? "Achieving my goals," he declares incontestably.
Thompson concludes by detailing current and approaching undertakings enthusiastically, by saying, "Writing and demoing tunes for my next CD, following up on my debut CD 'Warped'. Maintaining my web site and completing material for my next CD."
