– Memory disordered SamWell, whether I’m playing as hard as I can as loud or whatever, I’ve always tried to be completely loose. That’s a very important quality for me, which I don’t think unfortunately many guitar players have. When guitar players play fast, you can see them tighten up and inevitably, to me, it translates as stiff music. It may be great guitar playing, but I don’t like to hear people trying, I want to just hear the music, which I’ve found is when you’re real loose. Watching good drummers like Jack DeJohnette and Roy Haynes, you see the sticks are practically falling out of their hands, but they are playing the meanest stuff and the very best guitar players tend to be very loose as well, like Jim Hall.
