I'm Not A Guitarist As Far As

I Know Where I'm Going Musically. I Can See My Pattern And I'm Going Much Slower Than I Thought I'd Be Going.

I Don't Know Whether I'll Reach 40. I Don't Know Whether I'll Reach 35. I Can't Be Sure About That. I Am Bloody Serious. I Am Very, Very Serious. I Didn't Think I'd Make 30.

I'm Still Searching For An Angel With A Broken Wing. It's Not Very Easy To Find Them These Days.

Many People Think Of Me As Just A Riff Guitarist, But I Think Of Myself In Broader Terms. As A Musician I Think My Greatest Achievement Has Been To Create Unexpected Melodies And Harmonies Within A Rock And Roll Framework. And As A Producer I Would Like To Be Remembered As Someone Who Was Able To Sustain A Band Of Unquestionable Individual Talent, And Push It To The Forefront During Its Working Career. I Think I Really Captured The Best Of Our Output, Growth, Change And Maturity On Tape - The Multifaceted Gem That Is Led Zeppelin.

There's Such A Wealth Of Arts And Styles Within The Guitar... Flamenco, Jazz, Rock, Blues... You Name It, It's There. In The Early Days My Dream Was To Fuse All Those Styles. Now Composing Has Become Just As Important.
