I have been doing music all my life so everyday when I get up I expect music will be part of it.

I listen to other guitar players, yeah. It gives me new concepts and shows me where the instrument is going for the future and it is going some places. There are some musicians who are really putting out a good vibe with new theories. I try and keep up.

Never give up on a good thing, never give up, never give up!

The melody is the most important thing that must stay in the minds of the people who listen to you. No matter how many notes you play, you can't let them forget what the song is.

The greatest guitar player in the world today for me is Paco de Lucia, who is actually Spanish.

You might not feel like playing pretty all the time. Instead, you might want to play something nasty....you might want to play something out of context with the tune. It might be a note that creates so much tension it becomes unpleasant, but you want it to sound that way.

Love songs are one of the great essences of life, the only thing thats lasting.
