If someone can relate my guitar solo to an exercise in a book... that's no fun at all.

Eee-nee-mee-nee-my-nee-moe

Song ideas have come to me in the middle of interviews, in the shower, or while I'm writing another song.

I started learning to sing what I liked, to experience it in a visceral way. Then it's inside. Get rid of the neurosis and then you can improvise.

Guitarists shouldn't get too riled up about all of the great players that were left off of 'Rolling Stone Magazines' list of the Greatest Guitar Players of all Time' ... Rolling Stone is published for people who read the magazine because they don't know what to wear.

Relax. Be yourself. Play a lot.

I'll tell you one thing: I will always play the sh** out of my guitar.
