I'm Very Fortunate Because I Love What

My Finger Picking Is Sort Of A Cross Between Pete Seeger, Earl Scruggs, And Total Incompetence.

But If You Want Me To Knock Kingdom Come, All I Will Say Is That I Heard The Guitarist Said He'd Never Heard My Playing, And I'd Defy Any Guitarist In American Not To Have Heard Led Zeppelin.

My Vocation Is More In Composition Really Than Anything Else-building Up Harmonies Using The Guitar, Orchestrating The Guitar Like An Army, A Guitar Army. ... I Always Felt If We Were Going In To Do An Album, There Should Already Be A Lot Of Structure Already Made Up So We Could Get On With That And See What Else Happened. ... I Always Believed In The Music We Did And That's Why It Was Uncompromising. ... I Don't Think The Critics Could Understand What We Were Doing.

The Only Term I Won't Accept Is "genius."

I Think It Was That We Were Really Seasoned Musicians. We Had Serious Roots That Spanned Different Cultures, Obviously The Blues.
