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.

The first real thing I heard was Three O'Clock Blues by B.B. King. That's where it all began for me.

I've always been the first to admit that Jimi was a very big influence on my early stuff.

I wouldn't count myself as being a true blues guitarist because I feel you have to live it.

I was very keen on people like Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gene Vincent.

I think the fundamental part of my technique is my vibrato.

I think it's a sensible thing not to read your fan mail - not to take it too seriously.

I have short hands. That's why I have to bend up to notes; I can't always reach the frets.

I have done some things that I'm very proud of. I don't think you can say any more than that, really.
