Interview/Quote with Eric Johnson

Eric Johnson interview from Guitar international magazine

Rick: Do you have any projects that you’ve dreamed of doing, but have just haven’t got around to yet?

Eric: I’d like to work with an orchestra some day. That would be a lot of fun! And I would like to learn more about music and cut some records that are different styles.

Rick: Are there any guitarists that you always go back and listen to for inspiration?

Eric: Wes Montgomery!

I love the fact that someone as amazing as Eric Johnson said that he would like to "learn more about music". That is awesome. I think next post we should hear some Wes to see what all of the fuss is about!

Good luck on the musical journey. -Steve

Interview/Quote with Jack White

Do you see yourself as competitive with other musicians of your generation?

JW: No, I give up! [Laughs.] I surrender! I watch MTV, I listen to the radio, and I just give up. I don't know to record like that, I don't know how to be "current." Anytime I do something and it sounds "modern" to me, someone is quick to point out that it sounds like something from 30 or 40 years ago. You know, I give up! [Laughs.] That's never been a battle that I wanted to fight to begin with, but even the times I think about it, I think that even if I wanted to, I wouldn't even know the first thing to do.
