against attempts beauty bits five four mix solo
Sometimes when I do an overdub solo, they'll keep four or five of my attempts and then mix the bits that they like to make a solo up out of them. It's not against the rules, really - I can learn my own solos, then. But that's the whole beauty of multi-track recording, isn't it?
juice losing money price shot
I tell them, for a girl, juice up the price of a shot to $3. The bar's not losing any money over it.
break british-musician care job rules song
I don't care about the rules. In fact, if I don't break the rules at least 10 times in every song then I'm not doing my job properly.
british-musician broke england jazz listen radio remember room
I was really small when jazz broke through in England and I can still remember sneaking off to the living room to listen to it on the radio - much to my parent's disapproval.
coming everybody few fun grab kids love minutes rewarding weather
It's rewarding to be here. The little kids just love it. The weather is cooperating and everybody is coming out to grab some eggs. It's just a few minutes but it's a lot of fun for them.
british-musician
I play the way I do because it allows me to come up with the sickest sounds possible. That's the point now isn't it?
almost chopping crushed dangerous exact garage opposite steel studio
I like the studio because it's delicate; you're working for sound. I like the garage because chopping up lumps of steel is the exact opposite of delicate. The garage is a more dangerous place though. I've never almost been crushed by a guitar, but I can't say the same about one of my Corvettes.
couple heart play
I play purely from the heart, y'know, and so if it doesn't work the first couple of hours, forget it.
mom two guitar
Some are skeptical. My mom thought the guitar was going to fizzle out in two weeks, that it was just a fad-and that was in 1958.
music song jobs
I don't care about the rules, if I don't break the rules at least 10x every song then I'm not doing my job.
emotional giving mind
I'm a very emotional person. If I've got something on my mind, that would stop me from giving my best.
player guitar django
... by far the most astonishing guitar player ever has got to be Django Reinhardt ... Django was quite superhuman, There's nothing normal about him as a person or a player.
average the-end-of-the-day being-played
At the end of the day, there are a hell of a lot of notes being played out there and I defy the average middle-American or the average punter to differentiate between them.
home feet water
I never really felt at home with that - the headbands, the roses, the feet, the peace sign, all that bollocks. That wasn't me at all; I felt like a fish totally out of water during the mid-'60s thing.
