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

You can't buy time. Everything, for me, seems to be a race against time. Especially musically.

From the classical guitar right through to the furthest electrical experiments and everything in-between, it's amazing what the guitar can actually do. I mean, when one thinks about sounds.

Music is the one thing that has been consistently there for me. It hasn’t let me down.

Artists say that paintings are never done. I sort of feel the same way about music. I would never say something is perfect. There are performances that can generate a lot of emotion in me when I hear them, but I can't say if anything is perfect.

No. I usually rest in my satin-lined coffin, actually. I'm not allowed out in daylight hours.

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 can only listen to what I'm working on, at the time. I can't listen to anything else because I don't want to copy it.

My guitar style was developed during that 10-year period. That's me. That's the way I play, and I don't wish to play any other way. Our own individual identities are firmly stamped on this album.

Image
Many people in the neighborhood liked hip-hop and house music, and I couldn't play that. You can't perform that on guitar or drums, which was what I was playing, at the time. But, I got so much from mariachi bands that were constantly playing in the neighborhood.

I think it's time to travel, start gathering some real right-in-there experiences with street musicians around the world.

The gut-strung guitar, the classical guitar, that is a whole different world on its own. When you think what the guitar can do and what every individual player does with a guitar, everyone has their own identity coming through the guitar.

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

Once I get onstage the tension explodes and I'm fine. I'm in another world - in a trance almost, doing what I love best, expressing myself through guitar.

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

I'm not interested in turning anybody on to anybody that I'm turned on to... if people want to find things, they find them themselves.

It's interesting when something new comes along, a band of dwarfs playing electronic harps or something, but I'm not searching.
