Every musician wants to do something which will hold up for a long time, and I guess we did it with 'Stairway to Heaven.'

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

No. I usually rest in my satin-lined coffin, actually. I'm not allowed out in daylight hours.

I don't care what critics and other people think.

The way I see it, rock & roll is folk music. Street music. It isn't taught in school. It has to be picked up.

I don't want to get too dippy about all this. If you take the view of the scientist and everything is in a state of vibration, then every note is a vibration, which has a certain frequency, and you know that if you put 40 beats into a frequency it's going to be the same note every time. You take that into infrasound and people can be made to be sick, actually killed. Taking it the other way, not to be too depressing, what about euphoria, etc., and what about consciousness being totally... no, I won't go into that one. Time warps.

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.
