If you hand me a guitar, I'll play the blues. That's the place I automatically go.

Every time you pick up your guitar to play, play as if it's the last time.

I never set myself too high a goal. It was always tone and feeling, for me.

One of the most beneficial things I've ever learned is how to keep my mouth shut.

I'd love to knock an audience cold with one note, but what do you do for the rest of the evening?

Yeah, it is, because it's a real discovery of your inner resources, you know. That's what my character is all about and what my playing is all about. But to get up there and just go inside and draw out something that makes you feel good first and foremost.

Only ask and you will get what you are needing, the rest is up to you.
