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

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'm very fortunate because I love what I'm doing.

From the classical guitar right through to the furthest electrical experiments and everything in-between, it's amazing what the guitar can actually do. I mean, when one thinks about sounds.

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'm pretty optimistic about the future of rock... it will be back to composition as in classical music or jazz.

My vocation is more in composition really than anything else - building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army, a guitar army.
