I'm ready to take the heat.

Some of us are going to play faster than others. Hitting the right notes and getting your technique right is so much more important than speed.

I started out playing guitar because Jimi Hendrix was my hero, so my roots were really based on Jimi Hendrix and his style of playing.

Relax. Be yourself. Play a lot.

There's a fine line between giving the sense of freedom and being too free.

I've always done 'the wrong thing' and had a pretty wonderful time doing it.

Never bear more than one trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds - all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have.

The grounds of the place were dominated by several large, old willow trees that towered over the surrounding stone wall and swayed soundlessly in the wind like lost souls.

Dust as we are, the immortal spirit grows Like harmony in music; there is a dark Inscrutable workmanship that reconciles Discordant elements, makes them cling together In one society.
