Solos I kind of [couldn't] care less about. I know most people probably think that's what I care most about, but it's really the melody playing that is the cornerstone of what I'm working on.

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

Relax. Be yourself. Play a lot.

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

I've always done 'the wrong thing' and had a pretty wonderful time doing it.

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

I'm ready to take the heat.
