I went to see John Mayall at the Marquee, with Peter Green on guitar, and that was a particularly good gig.

I think a lot of modern day guitarists start off playing like Eddie van Halen, and they don't take the time to learn the basics.

I think I'll continue to work as a solo artist.

I started off playing the clarinet, after I was inspired by listening to my dad's Benny Goodman records.

So if you see Ten Years After, it's not me anymore. I'm very happy with what I am doing now.

... I'm not conscious of the speed ... it's not my motive ... my motive is displaying a voice through the fingerboard ... it can get to the point where I don't have control over what I am playing ... I never end the gig until I can't sing anymore

George Harrison was also a pleasure to work with. He was one of the most famous people I've ever known, but in spite of that fame, he was such a nice and friendly guy.
