I can imagine that Rod Stewart likes giving autographs because he's pure showbusiness.

Jeff Beck is my idol .. sometimes he finds notes that I just do not have on my guitar. Frank Zappa's another one .. I loved Frank Zappa ... I do think Van Halen reinvented the guitar ... he's an excellent musician, a shrewd guitarist and as a person he's wonderful.

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

Everything I do is usually totally spontaneous.

I'm not good enough, technically, to be a classic musician. I lack discipline.

I was impressed by Hendrix. Not so much by his playing, as his attitude - he wasn't a great player, but everything else about him was brilliant.
