I was listening to a lot of bebop. And to Miles Davis. Everyone thinks I was just in the folk world in 1966, but in 1963 and 1964, I was absorbing enormous amounts of music, from baroque to jazz to blues to Indian music.
My music translates again and again to younger generations of players because I broke all the rules, and they can break all the rules now, too.
In 1968, I bought a 114-foot yacht, built in 1946, and lived on the Greek islands for a while. We had an extraordinary time in it. Then I gave it to The Beatles.
I was a virtuoso of all the folk-blues guitar styles by the time I reached 17.
Meditation is certainly not a religion, cult, or spiritual path: it's actually a very basic practice to reduce stress.
The similarity between my music and The Beatles' music is it has within it a very positive quality. It's woven with humor.
