I feel I've been blessed with a gift of creativity and composition. That's why I've been able to keep going. |
The ability to make music is a gift that you're born with; it's not something you can learn. |
If I could sing, I wouldn't be a guitarist. |
Music has nothing to do with your technical ability. |
When you start believing you're something special, then you're not going to be striving to move forward. |
I have short hands. That's why I have to bend up to notes; I can't always reach the frets. |
I was very keen on people like Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gene Vincent. |
I go for as much feeling as I can rather than show what I can do up and down the neck. I don't play to show people ability. |
I got a guitar when I was about 14, for a Christmas present, and went from there. |
I don't tend to have a favorite album; I tend to have favorite tracks. There are flaws in every album that spoil it for me. |
