Everything I do is usually totally spontaneous.

Stevie Ray Vaughan was very intense. Maybe that's what caught everybody's attention. As a player, he didn't do anything amazing.

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

When you're around someone good, your own standards are raised.

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

I have never met one person who likes Grand Funk.

I've always thought that I'm not really a guitar player, but I just practised so much that I developed into a kind of a bit of a musician, but I've often doubted my musical ear. If someone sings me a melody, I have to improvise on that melody, because I can't retain the information they've given me. That's why I still practise today, I suppose, because I still feel inadequate.
