My vocation is more in composition really than anything else - building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army, a guitar army.

There's so much that can be done on the guitar. And that's what is so good about the guitar - everyone can really enjoy themselves on it and have a good time, which is what it's all about.

I don't go walking into things blind.

Actually, I'm getting one made up with eight necks and I'm going to get a wheelwright to make a big rim around it and then I can do cartwheels off the stage.

Image
I'm not a guitarist as far as a technician goes, I just pick it up and play it. Technique doesn't come into it.

You don't find geniuses in street musicians, but that doesn't mean to say you can't be really good.

I know where I'm going musically. I can see my pattern and I'm going much slower than I thought I'd be going.

There will be a Led Zeppelin as long as there's a Jimmy Page, John Bonham, John Paul Jones and Robert Plant. This isn't a nostalgia band playing the hits forever. If anything ever happened and somebody left - which I really can't see happening - I don't think we'd bother to carry on. The magic for me is as it is now.

I don't feel I have to top myself at all.

You can't just find yourself doing something and not happy doing it.

My finger picking is sort of a cross between Pete Seeger, Earl Scruggs, and total incompetence.

I may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I'm doing.

Let me explain something about guitar playing. Everyone's got their own character, and that's the thing that's amazed me about guitar playing since the day I first picked it up. Everyone's approach to what can come out of six strings is different from another person, but it's all valid.

I'm over 30 now, but I didn't expect to be here.

So far I've been very, very fortunate because it appears that people like to hear the music I like to play. What more fortunate position can a musician be in?

I do not worship the devil. But magic does intrigue me. Magic of all kinds. I bought Crowley's house to go up and write in. The thing is, I just never get up that way. Friends live there now.

You know what you can gain when you sit down with the Moroccans. As a person and as a musician. That's how you grow.

There's so many different styles and facets of the 360-degree musical sphere to listen to. From tribal to classical music, it's all there. If the bottom was to sag out of that, for God's sake, help us all.

But if you want me to knock Kingdom Come, all I will say is that I heard the guitarist said he'd never heard my playing, and I'd defy any guitarist in American not to have heard Led Zeppelin.
