I can't imagine ever going back to working with somebody else.

I have short hands. That's why I have to bend up to notes; I can't always reach the frets.

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.

It was an experience being on a Beatles tour. They weren't very good. The singing was great, but the playing was a bit weak.

The guitar part is the pivot of everything we do, so if you change the guitar part you no longer have what it is.

Once I've settled on something I'll stay with that at least throughout the whole tour.

I go for as much feeling as I can rather than show what I can do up and down the neck. I don't play to show people ability.
