I was taking a nose dive somewhere between eleven and twelve because my sister had died and I was practicing something that siblings do which is follow in their footsteps and die as well.

I am evidence that you don't have to sell a lot of records or succeed in the usual way to have a big audience and a job.

I was required by Capital to release one every six months and the fastest I could do with all my touring was every nine months, and it would spook me every time because I never had what I needed and I really didn't want to do covers.

I think that open tunings are a trap really because it's really hard not to sound like an open tuning when your using one and that gets old as well as what you learn in one open tuning is going to stay there.

With all these great (guitar teachers) around here, don't cop their licks, COP THEIR ATTITUDE.

When the audience is awful you can still have a great night and people will walk out thinking they had a great time even though there was loads of loudmouths and the sound was terrible.

You can't really tell what the audience wants but you can tell what will keep everybody's attention in the same place.
