I cannot hide my tremendous feelings of respect for Jimmi Hendrix, for he is a monument of Western cultural history. You, young guitarists, or would-be guitarists, This is REAL guitar art. So if you really want to be a good guitarist, please study his style, for no one could (and still can) play this instrument as he did. Again he belonged to my generation of post-war baby boomers...

Youngsters of the 21st century, grunge or garage rockers (however you may call your music, because I can 't follow it any longer), honour the fathers and grandfathers of heavy guitar rock, for you are dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants, which belong to my generation of post-war baby boomers. Keep on rebelling against oppressive school and labour systems, for they only want to kill your freedom, creativity and sense of self-worth. I have become an old man, but you are my children (I have no children of my own), and I will teach you all I know about semiotic urban warfare, for I am a very intelligent, academicly-schooled man... Listen to me, learn my lessons, and you wil become very powerful...

Status Quo: this is the simple, plain Rock & Roll I 'm so keen on. It 's the percussive, monotonous changing between the root of a chord and its 6-form, for instance between A and A6. Status Quo 's music in fact is also in the rythm of 1/4 (I think I 'm the first to invent that term), which means that every beat is equally stressed. It 's the only form of music I learned to play on the guitar, when I was still a young, stupid dude...
