Combing my hair doesn't make me a better musician.

I can turn on some jazz guitarist, and he won't do a thing for me, if he's not playing electrically. But Jeff Beck's great to listen to.

I like leaping around on stage as long as it's done with class. None of this jumping up in the air and doing the splits

A lot of blues guitarists play with only three fingers, and they can't figure out certain runs that require the use of their little fingers. Classical training is good for that.

When something is not good, it's bad. Period

I'm not into that Keith Richard trip of having all those guitars in different tunings. I never liked the Rolling Stones much anyway.

Session work makes you more strict. You can't hit notes all over the place. You've got to make each one really count.
