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 learned a lot about lead; you don't have to blow your cookies in the first bar. It is much harder to be simple that to be complicated during solos.

I'd rather work than not.

I'll hear something in my head, then eventually play it. But it's a subconscious thing. Most of the time I really don't know what I'm playing.

I don't like English bands. They're too structured.

I can't see. I used to wear glasses off stage. Now I'm thinking of getting a pair of contract lenses.

Once I was playing and moving around and I fell right on my back. Just straight on my back. It was the most embarrassing moment of my life.
