I Can Never Remember What I Do

Most Guitar Players Get A Name Because The Band That They're In Has Become Popular. That Doesn't Mean That They're Particularly Good, Whereas Conversely, You've Got People Like Albert Lee, An Incredible Player, One Of My Favourites Who's Not In A Famous Band, So He Doesn't Get Into The Popularity Polls. I Have To Laugh At Some Of The People That Do Get Into The Popularity Polls - Some Of Them Are So Bad, But They're In A Band That's At The Top Of The Hit Parade. I Think People Mix That Up.

Jeff Beck Is My Idol .. Sometimes He Finds Notes That I Just Do Not Have On My Guitar. Frank Zappa's Another One .. I Loved Frank Zappa ... I Do Think Van Halen Reinvented The Guitar ... He's An Excellent Musician, A Shrewd Guitarist And As A Person He's Wonderful.

Listening To As Many Guitar Solos As Possible Is The Best Method For Someone In The Early Stages. But Saxophone Solos Can Be Helpful. They're Interesting Because They Are All Single Notes, And Therefore Can Be Repeated On The Guitar. If You Can Copy A Sax Solo You're Playing Very Well, Because The Average Saxophonist Can Play Much Better Than The Average Guitarist.

When You're Around Someone Good, Your Own Standards Are Raised.
