A certain death of an artist is overconfidence.

A wah-wah is important as well. I love it; it makes the guitar scream.

I can't say I feel influenced by today's guitar players.

It's impossible to play a run with as much feeling as a single note. I've never been so much into runs as making single notes cry.

Music has nothing to do with your technical ability.

My songs are more arrangements than they are songs.

I was very keen on people like Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gene Vincent.

The ability to make music is a gift that you're born with; it's not something you can learn.

I don't tend to have a favorite album; I tend to have favorite tracks. There are flaws in every album that spoil it for me.
