I tried to connect my singing voice to my guitar an' my guitar to my singing voice. Like the two was talking to one another.

When I was young, I didn't play like I do today. So these kids are starting at the height that I've reached. Think what they might do over time.

I look at an audience kind of like meeting my in-laws for the first time. You want to be yourself, but you still want to be somebody that they like. When I go on the stage each night, I try my best to outguess my audience.

It just seemed to me that the way I played was nice. I could hear it myself.
