What I've always lacked is a really strong band to back me up.

The Beatles and The Stones were basically inspired by American Rhythm and Blues

If you've been playing for a few years...especially in a group context... you'll see if you have the ability ... or the passion to want to carry on. It's something that you have to be dedicated to ...and you've got to love ..no matter what happens.

I had to learn chord shapes... I bought books with chord charts. I used to listen to all kinds of pop music.

I play the piano a lot at home, I write songs on the piano and guitar. I would like to actually play piano on stage... I don't think I'll get the chance for a while.

I've never stopped learning.

The Stones are a different kind of group. I realized that when I joined them. It's not really so much their musical ability, it's just they have a certain kind of style and attitude which is unique
