John Lennon in a 1975 interview with Rolling Stone honcho Jann Wenner:
“Yoko’s made me get cocky about my guitar playing. I mean, yeah, one part of me says, of course I can play. Because I can make a rock… move. Ya know? But another part of me says, I wish I could just do it like B.B. King.
But, I’m an artist. And if you give me a tuba, I can bring something out of it.
I don’t know, ask Eric Clapton. He says I can play. Ask him.
You know, I… it’s… you don’t have to… a lot of you people want technical perfection. It’s like wanting technical film. You know, most critics of rock and roll and guitarists are in the stage of the Fifties, when they wanted a technically perfect film all finished for them, and then they would feel happy.
I’m a Cinema Verite guitarist. You have to be able to break down your barriers to hear what I’m playing.”
