But I say these things in an objective dispassionate manner because, you know, and I can't explain why, but being one of the greatest guitarists in the world simply is not very important to me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't see myself as such an important guitarist.
I don't care how famous a guitarist is, he ain't learned everything. There's always somewhere to go, something to mash up, but he ain't found it yet. You never learn everything on that guitar neck.
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'm not trying to be flippant here, but I just play the guitar, don't I? That is my characteristic, and it's my identity as you hear it.
I'm definitely not a super great guitarist. Ultimately, I just write a lot of love songs.
I think a lot of modern day guitarists start off playing like Eddie van Halen, and they don't take the time to learn the basics.
I'm not a good guitar player.
I'm not a guitar hero.
I believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it.
In the past, I tried to be more of a typical session guitarist. I wasn't so concerned with impressing anybody.
