"I couldn't not play a Les Paul guitar. Les always used to point to my Strat and say, 'Why do you hav..." — Jeff Beck

Nothing is more annoying than a great singer getting drowned out by a loud guitar.

The only way you can get Scotty Moore's tone is with a big hollowbody guitar.

I don't organize myself sufficiently to get an album of material together, book the studio, and go. I need to be kicked; I need to be forced physically to go in. That's how it works for me. I'll get a great idea in the house, and it'll stay there unless somebody comes and drags it out of me!

I do a very poor man's pedal steel on the Stratocaster.
