I can't do anything but play guitar.

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.

My first joint I smoked onstage in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I smoked my first joint live.

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.

Lots of times it really doesn't matter what notes you play, but what notes come before and after a run.

I can't do anything but play guitar.

When I got to LA and was with the James Gang, I got the opportunity to write a lot, to play in front of large audiences, make some money.
