Hendrix Inspired Me, But I Was Still

When I Was 20, I Didn't Give A Damn About Song Construction. I Just Wanted To Make As Much Noise And Play As Fast And As Loud As Possible.

Pete Townshend Used To Crash Chords And Let The Guitar Feed Back. He's Overrated.

I'm Not One For Sitting Around Listening To My Own Music, Because I Tend To Cringe And Think That I Could Have Done Better. I Also Suffer From Red Light Syndrome Quite A Lot. I Tend To Narrow My Thinking When The Red Light Goes On To Record. Instead Of Just Relaxing And Playing And Emoting, I Think Of Time Being Wasted So I Won't Take A Chance On Something. Consequently, When I Hear It Back, I Think, "why The Hell Did I Play It So Safe On That Piece Of Music When I Could Have Really Opened Up?" Well, It's Because Of Not Wanting To Make A Mistake.

I See Someone Like John Williams, The Classical Player, And The Amount Of Discipline And The Natural Ability That Man Has Is So Frightening. That Requires So Much Natural Talent. And I Think My Talent Came From Just Practising, And I Feel A Bit Intimidated When I See Players That Good.

I'm Not Good Enough, Technically, To Be A Classic Musician. I Lack Discipline.
