When I was young and started to
play guitar I wanted to play guitar
because The Beatles were out
(laughs). So I have a weak spot for
George Harrison. I was just enthused
about the whole thing with the
British invasion coming to America.
Everybody in my neighborhood got
a guitar when all that stuff started
happening. It became the most
popular instrument; and The Beatles
were playing and shaking their hair
and everything like that. We tried to
play everything that was on the radio,
like “Taxman.” I was taking guitar
lessons at the time, too, so “Day
Tripper” was one that I was down
with. I never figured out how he does
that beginning on “Something” –
if he’s playing slide or what.
