I don't deal in technique. I deal in emotions.

The idea of a hypnotic riff as the prime mover of a piece of music has been around for a long time, whether you're talking about the Delta blues or music from Middle Eastern and African cultures.

I deal in emotions. It's the harmonic side that's important. That's the side I expected to be much further along on than I am now. That just means to say that I've got to keep at it.

I don't deal in technique. I deal in emotions.

I know where I'm going musically. I can see my pattern and I'm going much slower than I thought I'd be going.

All my houses are isolated. Many is the time I just stay home alone.

I can tell how far I ought to be going, I know how to get there, all I've got to do is keep playing.
