One of my favorite guitar players and musicians is a guy named Jimmy Herring.
All the really good guitar players - Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, or even Bert Jansch or John Martin - I love all those people. But I didn't start out thinking that I would be a guitar player. In the beginning, I played the guitar so I could sing. I mainly concentrated on my voice.
It's always great playing with other musicians. It's also a great situation where I'm the older guy, I've influenced generations of guitar players.
Oddly enough, Hendrix is not my favorite guitar player. There are very few guitar players I get feeling from.
I'm not capable of wielding the guitar like Jimmy Page, one of my all-time favorite guitarists. My skill set is more based on the grinding, sort of human heartbeat - almost playing the guitar more like a drum.
Yeah, Jody [Porter] left. He's a great guitar player. We have a guy named Phil Hurley who is going to go out on tour with us now. I'm not sure if he'll end up as the permanent guitar player, but he's the type of guy who can kind of step in and play anything. He was with the Gigolo Ants before, and he's really good.
Being a female guitar player back in school wasn't great, and I had to change schools so many times. The male drummers and bass players thought it was cool, but male guitar players said, 'It's a guy's thing. You should be doing something else, like playing the harp.'
Oh, man, I love the Staple Singers. I love Pop Staples' guitar playing, too. He's one of my favorite guitar players.
My favorite electric guitar would have to be my Duesenberg. I've named her 'Dolores,' and she sings like an operatic menace.
I'd like to be able to get more girls to play guitar. I think with a girl playing electric guitar, sometimes it's seen a bit like a guy doing ballet. All the people I learned guitar from have been guys. There are some great female players, like Bonnie Raitt and Jennifer Batten, but very few.
One of my all-time favorite country singers is a guy named Conway Twitty.
I love 'Crazy Horse,' and Neil Young is one of my favorite guitar players.
Nick Zinner has been one of my favorite guitar players for a long time.
My favorite guitar players are Chuck Berry and Brian May and Dave Davies from the Kinks.
Led Zeppelin is what made me buy my first electric guitar: the Jimmy Page guitar sound.
I don't even wanna say female guitar-players, just guitar-players, because music of all things doesn't need to be gendered and stratified, that's so boring.
I probably spent more time as a kid playing air guitar to Jimmy Page than any other guitar player.
