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

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.

I don't see myself as such an important guitarist.

It's hard to say this about a guy like Eddie Van Halen, one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived, but he's really limited to a style and they're locked into it.

Nobody could understand why a guy would love his guitar, then all of a sudden turn around and try to destroy it. Jimi was just different.

Experimenting with different sounds is great, but when it comes down to it, you're still playing a guitar.

I just want to be a better guitar player, really.

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 never felt I had enough personal style to pursue being just a guitarist.
