The value of music is to be able to play one note at the right time in the right way.

If you play more than two chords, you're showing off.

All you have to do is play one note. But it needs to be the right note.

It's a magical thing, the guitar. It allows you to be the whole band in one, to play rhythm and melody, sing over the top. And as an instrument for solos, you can bend notes, draw emotional content out of tiny movements, vibratos and tonal things which even a piano can't do.

I'm kind of a one-note at a time, one finger keyboard player.

I had been playing single note instruments and I wanted to hear a guitar played as a piano.

It's tough to play the right chord on the instrument when there's someone out there who wants to kill you.

If you play the guitar, you've got to hold the chords down with one hand while you play with the other, so you're limited to one hand. But the piano is the king of instruments because you have your 10 fingers, which become the 10 members of the orchestra.

I suppose because I have a good ear, I could pick out harmonies and learn by ear. I still think that you have to have an ear for music to really be able to feel and understand what you're playing. You can learn by watching and listening to other people.

It's that kind of in-born music thing - I could pick up the guitar and play something. It's not something I consciously do.
