There are people these days who can do things on the guitar which are beyond my reach. There's one guy who plays with Queen who can do things I would dream of doing. I sincerely mean that.

I mean, the sound of an amplified guitar in a room full of people was so hypnotic and addictive to me, that I could cross any kind of border to get on there.

But I did go to music really early on, even when I was 4 or 5, I was responding to music probably in ways other kids were not.

My original interests and intentions in guitar playing were primarily created on quality of tone, for instance, the way the instrument could be made to echo or simulate the human voice.

Music survives everything, and like God, it is always present. It needs no help, and suffers no hindrance.

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