I was a big fan of Jim Hall as well. I liked his comping style, his accompanying. And that he played, generally, four note chords, the top four strings of the guitar.

I'm surrounded by great guitar players.

Charlie Christian played amplified guitar with Benny Goodman's quartet. He was the greatest guitar player that ever was. But he never looked up from the guitar. But I put a little dance to it. They appreciate seein' something along with hearin' something.

Besides being a guitar player, I'm a big fan of the guitar. I love that damn instrument.

I've studied several guitar players and songwriters, mostly from Al di Meola to Dimebag Darrell, from Freddie Mercury of Queen to Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and Bradley Nowell of Sublime.

There were some older guitarists on my side of town, and I got to know many of them.

Jeff Beck is one of my heroes and has been since I first picked up a guitar.

Great guitar players are a dime a dozen. It is sometimes your very limitations as players that set you apart from the crowd.
