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

I started out playing guitar because Jimi Hendrix was my hero, so my roots were really based on Jimi Hendrix and his style of playing.

When you hear an instrumental song someone is singing over, you know right away it's wrong.

I can embarrass myself very easily on guitar. It's funny because people say to me I can play anything; I'm God on the guitar. But I could make a big list of everything I can't play... I'm grateful that people don't notice that.

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.

There's a fine line between giving the sense of freedom and being too free.
