Guitars are fun. There are plenty of different kinds to play. They look cool. They sound cool. Don't you want to play guitar?

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

18th September, 1970; Jimi Hendrix dies. I'm still on the football team when I get the news. So I take my helmet off and confront the coach to tell him I'm quitting the team. In a moment of brilliance he gives me one look and says "OK".

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.

Some of us are going to play faster than others. Hitting the right notes and getting your technique right is so much more important than speed.
