If you're not having fun it's not worth doing.

I used to listen a lot to Rolling Stones records and play along with them when I was first starting. It's a good way to learn, jamming around basic music.

My family were all musicians. I really wasn't interested in school or anything.

Blues teaches you to develop coherent solos, because the form you're playing over is so basic. You have to develop leads that go someplace.

I can't do anything but play guitar.

For me, practice isn't doing scales but doing things like writing, jamming with other people, or playing gigs.

I just started off on my own by learning the regular chords then the barre chords. Then I'd lean the notes that would go with them.
