I can turn on some jazz guitarist, and he won't do a thing for me, if he's not playing electrically. But Jeff Beck's great to listen to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Jeff Beck is one of my heroes and has been since I first picked up a guitar.
Every time I listen to Jeff Beck my whole view of guitar changes radically. He's way, way out, doing things you never expect.
I don't want to sound as if I'm doing something tremendously special. But I am a jazz fan.
I love playing with Jeff. That's something I never really say in the press, but he's my favorite bass player. I've played right next to him for 10 years.
I don't see myself as such an important guitarist.
The worst thing about the life of a jazz musician on the road is getting to the gig. Once you're there and playing, it's marvelous.
I drive my family nuts because when I watch something on TV, I'm likely to watch it with a bass guitar. But I don't plug it in!
I'm never gonna be a Carlos Santana - an instrumentalist. I just like songs. It's three minutes of something that can be very powerful.
It's really nice to be able to do what I'm doing without having to compromise with another musician.
I wouldn't mind being the lead guitarist in an incredibly successful rock band. However, I don't play the guitar.
