I don't put myself on Jeff Beck's level, but I can relate to him when he says he'd rather be working on his car collection than playing the guitar.
Learning to play with a big amplifier is like trying to control an elephant.
Simplicity is the key.
When you're recording, if you're not really clean in your playing, it sounds like a mess.
I found the blues too limiting, and classical was too disciplined.
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.
