I play enough guitar to get by. I don't like to play guitar live.

The older I get, the more I just like plugging directly into my amp. I'm tired of trying to impress myself with weird sounds. It's about the notes more.

I preferred not to be laden down with a big instrument. If you're behind a guitar, you get used to being behind a guitar, and you don't really perform because you can't. I wanted to be able to just hold on to the mike and sing.

James Brown is the reason I play guitar.

Experimenting with different sounds is great, but when it comes down to it, you're still playing a guitar.

I came from an era when we didn't use electronic instruments. The bass wasn't even amplified. The sound was the sound you got.

Still to this day, I am deeply satisfied when watching a guitar player who is connected with their art and instrument. GuitarTV helps you tap into that connection, and to each other.

I've got a Fender Concert amp from the '60s, the one Joe Osborn used. He played his bass through it.

I played the guitar and thought that was what I was going to do as a career. I still record music that is played in my restaurants.

When I joined the band, being that I was going to take this up as a profession, I realized that there were no two finer guitar players in the world that I'd rather play with.
