I see someone like John Williams, the classical player, and the amount of discipline and the natural ability that man has is so frightening. That requires so much natural talent. And I think my talent came from just practising, and I feel a bit intimidated when I see players that good.

Playing a Fender is an art itself. They're always going out of tune.

I've always played every amp I've ever had full up, because rock and roll is supposed to be played loud. Also, that's how you get your sustain.

Jimi... He was the gov'nor and that's it. He was brilliant, wasn't he?

When you're around someone good, your own standards are raised.

Johnny Winter is one of the best blues players in the world. He's very underrated.

I don't put myself on Jeff Beck's level, but I can relate to him when he says he'd rather be working on his car collection than playing the guitar.
