I believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it.

I have a voracious appetite for all things, worldly and unworldly.

I'm not a guitarist as far as a technician goes, I just pick it up and play it. Technique doesn't come into it.

Led Zeppelin didn't get that kind of Beatles screaming. We had a more sort of macho crowd. But I remember once in the early days of The Yardbirds, we were playing on an ice rink, and the stage was mobbed by screaming girls. I had my clothes torn off me. That's a really uncomfortable experience, let me tell you.

I always felt if we were going in to do an album, there should already be a lot of structure already made up so we could get on with that and see what else happened.

I'm attracted by the unknown, but I take precautions.

When I started doing sessions, the guitar was in vogue. I was playing solos every day.
