I Can Never Remember What I Do

I See Someone Like John Williams, The Classical Player, And The Amount Of Discipline And The Natural Ability That Man Has Is So Frightening. That Requires So Much Natural Talent. And I Think My Talent Came From Just Practising, And I Feel A Bit Intimidated When I See Players That Good.

Learning To Play With A Big Amplifier Is Like Trying To Control An Elephant.

I Had Given Up The Guitar Between '75 And '78. I Completely Lost Interest. I Was Sick Of Hearing Other Guitar Players And I Was Tired Of My Tunes.

I'm Not One For Sitting Around Listening To My Own Music, Because I Tend To Cringe And Think That I Could Have Done Better. I Also Suffer From Red Light Syndrome Quite A Lot. I Tend To Narrow My Thinking When The Red Light Goes On To Record. Instead Of Just Relaxing And Playing And Emoting, I Think Of Time Being Wasted So I Won't Take A Chance On Something. Consequently, When I Hear It Back, I Think, "why The Hell Did I Play It So Safe On That Piece Of Music When I Could Have Really Opened Up?" Well, It's Because Of Not Wanting To Make A Mistake.

I Can Turn On Some Jazz Guitarist, And He Won't Do A Thing For Me, If He's Not Playing Electrically. But Jeff Beck's Great To Listen To.
