Playing guitar is like telling the truth.

Sometimes the proprietors of the little juke joints gave me a couple dollars. I loved that. I'd go back next Saturday.

Religion began as a natural explanation of the universe. The problem started when people refused to accept new evidence.

Education is the one thing that no one can take from you.

I was glad to see other blues guitarists like Albert King have crossover successes like me. We played in the same places like the Whisky and the Filmore. When Albert made his guitar cry, he could cut you so deep!

I don't think it's meant for man to know everything at once.

Kenny Burrell is overall the greatest guitarist in the world and he's my favorite.
