I notice guys playing the piano playing a part up here and a part down there, and I wandered why couldn't I do that on the guitar?

I really wanted a guitar. As A little boy I used to tell people I was going to be a musician. They would humor me, and I'd make up thirty minute songs and drive them nuts.

I'm playing a D-28 Martin that I've had about 20 years or so. I've got a '51 Martin and I thought I shouldn't be taking this on the road. So I went down to Gruhn Guitars in Nashville and kind of traded around and ended up with this one. This guitar sounded pretty good as new guitar.

My favorite record I've ever done is Rock Salt and Nails. It was recorded in '68-'69 and released in '69. There's something about that record I really like.

The end is here, and you don't want be here. You are the best in the world at something, and you know you are not going to be that great at anything else.

The principle is competing against yourself.

Gibson ES 125 was a real instrument, this was in 1956. I started learning; I had a vision of a sound.
