I can never remember what I do even in the studio.

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

In my early days, I never used finger vibrato at all. I originally carved my reputation as one of the 'fast' guitar players.

If you can play well in the studio, you can play well on stage.

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.

One of the reasons I took up the guitar was I didn't want to speak to anybody. I really felt uncomfortable speaking to people, so I took the guitar up so I could hide behind it. I'm not comfortable explaining things, because my brain doesn't work that way.

When you're recording, if you're not really clean in your playing, it sounds like a mess.
