Just as a blues player can play 20 blues songs in a row but find a way to make each one different, ... I always want to find different ways to do something

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

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

It's funny how you can struggle with one piece and write a better one in a minute. When things come easy, it means it's good.

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

When these guitar mags bring up that stuff up and say such and such came up with this and that which is pushing the boundaries, I just say, "let's step back for a minute and admit something: nothing has happened for the last 100 years." And it's okay. It's not a bad thing ... We're all working with "tools" that have been in existence for the last 100 years and there hadn't been a new "tool" for a long long time.
