What interested me about Chuck Berry was the way he could step out of the rhythm part with such ease, throwing in a nice, simple riff, and then drop straight into the feel of it again. We used to play a lot more rhythm stuff. We'd do away with the differences between lead and rhythm guitar. You can't go into a shop and ask for a "lead guitar". You're a guitar player, and you play a guitar.

I don't regret nuthin.

I looked upon myself, in a sort of romantic and silly way, as like a laboratory.

George Jones is a national treasure and should be treated accordingly. A unique style so often emulated even inadvertently.

Everybody's got a different way of telling a story - and has different stories to tell.

Guitar is easy, all it takes is 5 fingers, 6 strings and 1 a**hole

I like it here in Austin. Anybody got a room?
