The best money I made was panhandling.

When I first colored my hair, my mother loved it. I got kicked out of school when I was 15, just for my hair.

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.

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 have my own style, but it's different for each kind of music. There are certain little characteristic things every player has.

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.

I think the way I play the guitar is very percussive. I play a lot of rhythm chops as though I were playing congas or something.
