The only way you can get good, unless you're a genius, is to copy. That's the best thing. Just steal.

I have never met one person who likes Grand Funk.

A lot of blues guitarists play with only three fingers, and they can't figure out certain runs that require the use of their little fingers. Classical training is good for that.

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

I'm very moved by Renaissance music, but I still love to play hard rock - though only if it's sophisticated and has some thought behind it.

Jimi... He was the gov'nor and that's it. He was brilliant, wasn't he?

The cello is such a melancholy instrument, such an isolated, miserable instrument.
