My past is very interesting, and I treasure it, but to write about it, it's just not on my radar.

The tone is in your fingers, not in your amp or effects.

A good solo is like a book. It will start out in a phrase, it will go on in paragraphs, and then it will have a great ending.

When you get down to it, the way that the music affects you individually is the most important thing, and when you let things like the location of a band get in the way or have an effect on your overview, you're cheating yourself out of a really good time.

It's always funny to me when people use the phrase 'Best guitar player in the world'. There are too many variables such as technique, uniqueness, emotional investment in the notes, etc. But If I had to pick one, it would be Tommy Emmanuel. Watching him perform can be a study in artistic and virtuosic human achievement.

Acting, at least for me, is very unreal, and when I'm doing it, I actually feel embarrassed.

In the physical universe, there are objects that include suns, planets, all life, and all matter in all dimensions. And then there is the space where all these things exist. That space is the vital element. For virtually every kid since 1968 who picked up a guitar to find his voice on the instrument, Jimmy Page has been the space that enables all our notes to be played.
