But I always told him, 'When you start playing music you do something original.' He sure did, and I was really proud of him for doing that.
Music is the most important thing. I'm thinking of my future. There has to be something new, and I want to be part of it. I want to lead an orchestra with excellent musicians. I want to play music which draws pictures of the world and its space
Don't use your brain to play it, let your feelings guide your fingers.
I want to play music that draws a picture of the world and its space.
.. the Grand Ole Opry used to come on, and I used to watch that. They used to have some pretty heavy cats, heavy guitar players
.. I get more of a dreamy thing from the audience - it's more of a thing that you go up into. You get into such a pitch sometimes that you go up into another thing. You don't forget about the audience, but you forget about all the paranoia, that thing where you're saying, 'Oh gosh, I'm on stage - what am I going to do now ?' - Then you go into this other thing, and it turns out to be like almost like a play in certain ways
When I die, I want people to play my music, go wild and freak out and do anything they want to do.
I just hate to be in one corner. I hate to be put as only a guitar player, or either only as a songwriter, or only as a tap dancer. I like to move around.
When we go to play, you flip around and flash around and everything, and then they're not gonna see nothin' but what their eyes see. Forget about their ears.
I try all night to play a pretty note.
Technically, I'm not a guitar player, all I play is truth and emotion.
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.
Looks like my baby dont live here no more...thats alright, ive still got my guitar...............................(more lyrics)..................i might as well go back over yonder, way back across the hills, if my baby dont love me no more....i know her...sister will
Yes, it was raggedy. Yes, it had its problems. Yes, he did some things that he probably felt afterwards it wasn't a great idea to experiment onstage in front of a half-million people,
