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

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

When you start believing you're something special, then you're not going to be striving to move forward.

I can't say I feel influenced by today's guitar players.

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

I feel I've been blessed with a gift of creativity and composition. That's why I've been able to keep going.

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