I'm Not Good Enough, Technically,

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.

Ian Gillan, Roger Glover And I Wanted To Be A Hard Rock Band - We Wanted To Play Rock And Roll Only.

I'm Very Moved By Renaissance Music, But I Still Love To Play Hard Rock - Though Only If It's Sophisticated And Has Some Thought Behind It.

I've Always Thought That I'm Not Really A Guitar Player, But I Just Practised So Much That I Developed Into A Kind Of A Bit Of A Musician, But I've Often Doubted My Musical Ear. If Someone Sings Me A Melody, I Have To Improvise On That Melody, Because I Can't Retain The Information They've Given Me. That's Why I Still Practise Today, I Suppose, Because I Still Feel Inadequate.

I Can Never Remember What I Do Even In The Studio.
