When you're around someone good, your own standards are raised.

I can turn on some jazz guitarist, and he won't do a thing for me, if he's not playing electrically. But Jeff Beck's great to listen to.

A lot of blues guitarists play with only three fingers, and they can't figure out certain runs that require the use of their little fingers. Classical training is good for that.

Ritchie Blackmore

Ritchie Blackmore
Image
The only way you can get good, unless you're a genius, is to copy. That's the best thing. Just steal.
Ritchie Blackmore
Image
If a ballet dancer falls over, it's knowing how to get out looking clumsy that counts.
Ritchie Blackmore
Image
I was impressed by Hendrix. His attitude was brilliant. Even the way he walked was amazing.
Ritchie Blackmore
Image
I can never remember what I do even in the studio.
Ritchie Blackmore
Image
Stevie Ray Vaughan was very intense. Maybe that's what caught everybody's attention. As a player, he didn't do anything amazing.

Playing a Fender is an art itself. They're always going out of tune.
