The One Thing I Do Have Is Good Ears. I Don't Mean Perfect Pitch, But Ears For Picking Things Up. I Developed My Ear Through Piano Theory, But I Never Had A Guitar Lesson In My Life, Except From Eric Clapton Off Of Records.

Instead Of Using The Pick The Chimp Was Banging The Neck And Tapping It With Its Fingers. I Knew The Chimp Was On To Something So I Practiced This New Technique In My Room For Hours Until I'd Perfected It.
