Nirvana Was Huge, But It Didn't Appeal

I Never Dreamt Of Being A Musician For My Livelihood. I Certainly Never Would Have Wanted To Be In The Business That I'm In, Meaning The Fame And The Glory, The Glitter, The Rock Star, The Famous Part.

I Think Clapton Is Brilliant. He's The Only One Who Moved Me. The Only One Who Made Me Want To Play The Guitar.

I Started Doing All Kinds Of Weird Stuff On The Guitar, Which Became Part Of My Playing. I Started Doing Harmonics And Tapping On The Guitar And Pulling Off Strings And Doing All This Weird Stuff That No One Had Ever Done Before.

I Went To The Zoo One Day And Saw A Chimp Playing With A Beat-up Acoustic Guitar In A Way I Had Never Seen Before. Instead Of Using The Pick The Chimp Was Banging The Neck And Tapping It With Its Fingers. I Knew The Chimp Was On To Something So I Practiced This New Technique In My Room For Hours Until I'd Perfected It.

Rock & Roll Is Feeling, And After You Know Most Of The Basics ... Chords, Rhythm, Scales And Bends ... Getting That Feeling Is Just About The Most Important Aspect Of Playing Guitar
