Great guitar players are a dime a dozen. It is sometimes your very limitations as players that set you apart from the crowd.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm surrounded by great guitar players.
But remember, guitar players are a dime a dozen.
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.
I've seen myself on those lists of the 100 best guitarists, and if they think that I'm that good, thank them. Thank God for them. But I don't think so.
I believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it.
I love collecting guitars, even though I can't play well. My favourite guitarists are Richie Blackmore, Jimmy Paige, and John Mayer.
I do not consider myself a guitar player. My father is a guitar player - I'm not.
Steve Van Zandt, the poor guy, doesn't get to play enough as it is with me hogging a lot of the solos. Steve has always been a fabulous guitarist. Back from the day when we were both teenagers together, he led his band and played lead and was always a hot guitar player.
I'm not a good guitar player.
I don't know any guitar player, any of the real greats, who don't rate Joni Mitchell up there with the best of them.
