I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.

There's so many different styles and facets of the 360-degree musical sphere to listen to. From tribal to classical music, it's all there. If the bottom was to sag out of that, for God's sake, help us all.

I don't go walking into things blind.

I've never regretted anything I've ever done.

There's a certain standard in classical music that allows the application of the term "genius," but you're treading on thin ice if you start applying it to rock & rollers.

You get as much out of rock & roll artistically as you put into it. There's nobody who can teach you. You're on your own and that's what I find so fascinating about it.

I think it's time to travel, start gathering some real right-in-there experiences with street musicians around the world.
