“My baby she’s a long and lean, you mess with her you see a man get mean.”

It is the human things that make life good, the unexpected kindness, the friendly note, the bracing word, the neighbour’s extra loaf of bread she leaves at our back door.

The problem with taking amps to a shop is that they come back sounding like another amp.

What I am trying to get across to you; is please take of yourselves and those that you love; because that is what we are hear for, that’s all we got, and that is all we can take with us. Are you with me?

Looking back in front of me, in the mirror a grin. Through eyes of love I see, I’m only looking at a friend.

I use heavy strings, tune low, play hard, and floor it. Floor it. That’s technical talk.

All the Strats have personalities of their own and feel completely different.

The way people come into your life when you need them, it’s wonderful and it happens in so many ways. It’s like having an angel. Somebody comes along and helps you get right.

After I changed the string we picked up right where we left off – and punched back in at the same time. I don’t know if this has ever been done before. The engineer sort of looked at us weird, but we got it on the first take.

Some of us can be examples about going ahead and growing, and some of us, unfortunately, don’t make it there, and end up being examples because they had to die. I hit rock bottom, but thank God my bottom wasn’t death.

I was walking around trying to act cool, like I had no fear at all. But I was afraid, afraid that somebody would find out just how scared I was. Now I’m finally realizing that fear is the opposite of love.

I’ve been trying to grow up some myself, in my heart, and it’s happening quick and I feel good about it, and I want that to come out in the music.

God it’s good to be here walkin together, my friend.

I’m just doing the best I can now to keep this going… trying to grow up and remain young at the same time.

Lots of times I’ll play lead and rhythm together.

If you hit the front end on the right-hand side you could turn that one on by itself and if you hit on the left-hand side you could turn it on and off. And in the middle it was like serious overdrive.

I don’t play with a lot of finesse. I usually play like I’m breaking out of jail!

Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other, and scarce in that.

There is only one way to learn. It’s through action. Everything you need to know you have learned through your journey.

Attention is something I’ve learned to ignore. This is what I do: I live my life and they document it.

I’m not an educator. I’m a learner.

Mistakes are the necessary steps in the learning process; once they have served their purpose, they should be forgotten and not repeated.

Courage is like – it’s a habitus, a habit, a virtue: You get it by courageous acts. It’s like you learn to swim by swimming. You learn courage by couraging.

Happy is the man who has learned the causes of things.

Learn to practice moderation. Favours come to us from gods.
