I Don't See Myself As Such An

I've Always Played Every Amp I've Ever Had Full Up, Because Rock And Roll Is Supposed To Be Played Loud. Also, That's How You Get Your Sustain.

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.

The Only Way You Can Get Good, Unless You're A Genius, Is To Copy. That's The Best Thing. Just Steal.

But You Have To Give Your Whole Life To A Cello. When I Realized That, I Went Back To The Guitar And Just Turned The Volume Up A Bit Louder.

I'm Very Moved By Renaissance Music, But I Still Love To Play Hard Rock - Though Only If It's Sophisticated And Has Some Thought Behind It.
