I don't, consciously anyways, sort of listen to things with the idea of getting something from them that I can use.

I don't like to get too specific about lyrics. It places limitations on them, and spoils the listeners' interpretation.

I think once you've seen a song with a video, it limits your own mind's ability to read into it anything other than what you've seen.

My technique is laughable at times. I have developed a style of my own, I suppose, which creeps around. I don't have to have too much technique for it. I've developed the parts of my technique that are useful to me. I'll never be a very fast guitar player. I don't really know what to say about my style. There's always a melodic intent in there.

Everyone goes to rotten schools when they're kids, don't they?

Yes, there's a lot of the blues in my playing.
