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

Simplicity is the key.

Pete Townshend used to crash chords and let the guitar feed back. He's overrated.

I can turn on some jazz guitarist, and he won't do a thing for me, if he's not playing electrically. But Jeff Beck's great to listen to.

I was impressed by Hendrix. His attitude was brilliant. Even the way he walked was amazing.

I don't see myself as such an important guitarist.

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.
