I used to try and take things in leaps and bounds. Now I've realized it's got to be step by step.

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.

A lot of times I wish I would have learned to read music, but I'm very impatient.

A lot of things just got distorted, like stories about each other. After the tour we never talked. I believe a band should be a band.

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.

I came in with a completely new perspective. I would write songs and they would pick tunes they felt were in the Purple vein.

How do you stop somebody from growing?
