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

I wouldn't count myself as being a true blues guitarist because I feel you have to live it.

I have done some things that I'm very proud of. I don't think you can say any more than that, really.

I feel that my playing on the first album was probably some of my best.

If you want to do rock and roll, forget about those who've come after '65.

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.

I think the fundamental part of my technique is my vibrato.
