Any guitar solo should reflect the music that it's soloing over and not just be existing in its own sort of little world.

Music has been my outlet, my gift to all of the lovers in this world. Through it - my music, I know I will live forever.

It's been my dream since I was a child to somehow unite people of the world through love and music.

I realised a long time ago that instrumental music speaks a lot more clearly than English, Spanish, Yiddish, Swahili, any other language. Pure melody goes outside time.

Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it.

The colored folks been singing it and playing it just like I'm doin' now, man, for more years than I know. I got it from them.
