I'm not good enough, technically, to be a classic musician. I lack discipline.
I was impressed by Hendrix. His attitude was brilliant. Even the way he walked was amazing.
Everything I do is usually totally spontaneous.
I can do the old hand vibrato just fine, but I like attacking the strings.
I don't play by those rules; I'm my own worst enemy sometimes. There's something in me that has to go against the grain. You know, I don't like to be a dead fish, swimming with all the other dead fish, I like to go upstream sometimes, against the flow.
Session work makes you more strict. You can't hit notes all over the place. You've got to make each one really count.
