I don't understand why some people will only accept a guitar if it has an instantly recognizable guitar sound. Finding ways to use the same guitar people have been using for 50 years to make sounds that no one has heard before is truly what gets me off.

I'm a very emotional person. If I've got something on my mind, that would stop me from giving my best.

I was interested in the electric guitar even before I knew the difference between electric and acoustic. The electric guitar seemed to be a totally fascinating plank of wood with knobs and switches on it. I just had to have one.

If you were to plot my success or failure, it goes, it very seldom stays on a high plateau.

After I saw Jimmy [Hendrix] play, I just went home and wondered what the f*** I was going to do with my life.

I don't care about the rules, if I don't break the rules at least 10x every song then I'm not doing my job.
