Music Radar has an interview with Steve Morse that appears to be a revised and expanded version of the one we reported a couple of weeks ago.
Is there any style or technique that you find hardest to get under your fingertips?
Anything that’s written on keyboards is gonna have some difficult stretches in them. In the past, it was not so much of a problem, where I could cross-pick, like an upstroke on the G string, downstroke on the B string, very quickly, as I’m going across the strings. And I don’t want to suddenly turn into a sweeping guitarist, so things involve big intervallic jumps are harder than they used to be.
And things where you trill, like in some traditional Irish music, I can write things in that style, but if I was to play piece for hornpipe or something, in order to get those little mordents and trills, the fingering may not always lay out good for guitar. Those kind of challenges.

For another interview, Steve has appeared on the Boomerocity podcast:
Boomerocity sits down with guitar legend Steve Morse to talk about his brand-new album, Triangulation. In this exclusive interview, Steve dives deep into the inspiration behind the record, the creative process, and what it means to him at this stage of his remarkable career. Fans of the Dixie Dregs, Deep Purple, Flying Colors, and the Steve Morse Band won’t want to miss this conversation!
Thanks to Ultimate Guitar for the heads-up on the Boomerocity interview.
