I Don't Use The Twang Bar Anymore.

I Don't Play By Those Rules; I'm My Own Worst Enemy Sometimes. There's Something In Me That Has To Go Against The Grain. You Know, I Don't Like To Be A Dead Fish, Swimming With All The Other Dead Fish, I Like To Go Upstream Sometimes, Against The Flow.

Hendrix Inspired Me, But I Was Still More Into Wes Montgomery. I Was Also Into The Allman Brothers Around The Time Of Those Albums.

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.

A Lot Of Blues Guitarists Play With Only Three Fingers, And They Can't Figure Out Certain Runs That Require The Use Of Their Little Fingers. Classical Training Is Good For That.

I However Don't Go To Clubs To Show Off And To Be Seen, And Certainly Not To Make Statements. I Just Want To Be Able To Quietly Watch A Band.
