I found the blues too limiting, and classical was too disciplined.

The cello is such a melancholy instrument, such an isolated, miserable instrument.

I can do the old hand vibrato just fine, but I like attacking the strings.

I don't use the twang bar anymore. It's become too popular.

Simplicity is the key.

I was impressed by Hendrix. His attitude was brilliant. Even the way he walked was amazing.

Hendrix inspired me, but I was still more into Wes Montgomery. I was also into the Allman Brothers around the time of those albums.
