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

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.

When I'm with Purple, I'm totally with Purple; when I'm doing my thing, I'm totally doing my own thing.
