I don't believe in competition, ain't nobody else like me around

For a black male, the sound of the blues is pre-Civil Rights. It's oppression.

I know that I'm capable of moving around on the guitar. I can express myself the way I want to and feel good about it. But as far as technical chops, I'm not a learned musician.

I failed public speaking in grade school, 'cause I was so nervous and scared.

The guys in my band buy instruments and sell and trade them. But if I have something I hang onto it. Everything is sentimental to me.

Music is soaking up things that I see in other people or things that go on in my life, and I put it out there in the form of a song.

I'm obsessed with fuzz pedals.
