I boil the strings so they stretch.

Rock stars come and go. Musicians play until they die.

I never took guitar lessons. I took classical piano lessons from the age of six when we lived in Holland.

I was so used to doing old blues licks with the first three fingers. When I started using my pinky and finding more spread things, that's when I started getting my own style.

Major third complications can be overcome by lots of alcohol.
