It's true that the more you put in the more you get out and that has to be there I think, If you aren't really hooked on your instrument this job would be a hell on earth but if you are, it's the best.

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

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

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 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.

Musically, I am still hooked and just hypnotized by the sound of the guitar itself. I mean, a guitar sounds good if you drop it on the floor.

All bad jazz sounds like Woody Woodpecker.
