Oddly enough, Hendrix is not my favorite guitar player. There are very few guitar players I get feeling from.

The ability to make music is a gift that you're born with; it's not something you can learn.

It's impossible to play a run with as much feeling as a single note. I've never been so much into runs as making single notes cry.

My energy flagged because of heavy cold but the guys took up the slack.

I was very keen on people like Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gene Vincent.

To me there's a definite way of doing a song. If I didn't think that, I wouldn't have done it that way in the first place.

Once you start copying other people's licks, you begin thinking they're yours. Doing that's just an easy way out.
