The only time I have a problem is when I have to get in a vehicle after we play and sit there in a cramped position for a couple of hours to drive to the next place. Then I get super stiff.

Have a good work ethic. You've got to practice, practice, practice. I'm not telling you what to practice - that's up to you.

If you can make it in Rockford, you can make it anywhere.

I did what I believed in. It got me in trouble, but it also got me a job.

I knew the guys in the Allman Brothers way back in the day, before they were famous.

I've owned about 2,000 guitars through the years because I've traded a lot and given away and sold some stuff.

Nobody wants to hear long speeches.

We always record with the whole band. That's key to capturing the feel, especially trying to get a good basic track.

I always use my Les Paul. I have a Hamer as well. I use a Tele and an Esquire - once in a while, I will use a Strat, and I never use any pedals... except for in my car.
