During my early period I had custom-made overdrive stuff because I didn't like what they were making at the time..

It was an experience being on a Beatles tour. They weren't very good. The singing was great, but the playing was a bit weak..

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..

I think it's a sensible thing not to read your fan mail - not to take it too seriously..

I have done some things that I'm very proud of. I don't think you can say any more than that, really..

I feel I've been blessed with a gift of creativity and composition. That's why I've been able to keep going..

I go through about two Fender mediums a night because I don't pick straight down; it's sort of sideways, and it shaves them off..

Once I've settled on something I'll stay with that at least throughout the whole tour..

I go for as much feeling as I can rather than show what I can do up and down the neck. I don't play to show people ability..
