The guitar was my weapon, my shield to hide behind.

I had this big thing about guitar harmonies. I wanted to be the first to put proper three-part harmonies onto a record. That was an achievement.

I know that there are things that never have been funny, and never will be. And I know that ridicule may be a shield, but it is not a weapon.

Every time I listen to Jeff Beck my whole view of guitar changes radically. He's way, way out, doing things you never expect.

It's when you're naked that you can't hide behind the lies anymore.

It's wet from all the guitar players crying.
