If A Ballet Dancer Falls

Combing My Hair Doesn't Make Me A Better Musician.

One Of The Reasons I Took Up The Guitar Was I Didn't Want To Speak To Anybody. I Really Felt Uncomfortable Speaking To People, So I Took The Guitar Up So I Could Hide Behind It. I'm Not Comfortable Explaining Things, Because My Brain Doesn't Work That Way.

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.

In My Early Days, I Never Used Finger Vibrato At All. I Originally Carved My Reputation As One Of The 'fast' Guitar Players.
