 I can't say I feel influenced by today's guitar players. |
| I think the fundamental part of my technique is my vibrato. |
| I have done some things that I'm very proud of. I don't think you can say any more than that, really. |
| I think it's a sensible thing not to read your fan mail - not to take it too seriously. |
| I've always been the first to admit that Jimi was a very big influence on my early stuff. |
| A certain death of an artist is overconfidence. |
| The States still has the best audiences by far. |
| It was an experience being on a Beatles tour. They weren't very good. The singing was great, but the playing was a bit weak. |
| It all comes down to the density of the wood. Every guitar's different. |
| When I was a little kid, I was very impressed with Elvis. |
| I feel that my playing on the first album was probably some of my best. |
| My songs are more arrangements than they are songs. |
| I wouldn't count myself as being a true blues guitarist because I feel you have to live it. |
| I didn't want to get attached to one guitar; I didn't want to have an instrument that was irreplaceable. |
| It's impossible to play a run with as much feeling as a single note. I've never been so much into runs as making single notes cry. |
| I go through about two Fender mediums a night because I don't pick straight down; it's sort of sideways, and it shaves them off. |
| A wah-wah is important as well. I love it; it makes the guitar scream. |
| Radio is commercial, isn't it. Its a business. |
| While I was with Procol Harum, the only time I'd see my guitar was either when I walked onstage or in the studio. |
| The first real thing I heard was Three O'Clock Blues by B.B. King. That's where it all began for me. |
