As a master guitarist, have you ever been inspired to fashion out your own guitar as many other prominent guitarist the world over do?

Yes, it’s true that I have my own style of playing the guitar. I have my special line. If I place my guitar here and if you are a guitarist, you can’t play it because of the way I tuned it. You have to study it to be able to play it. I have my own special line of guitar. I have my own creation of guitar. That was why some years ago I was recognised as number 68 master guitarist in the whole world.

There was a time you and famous Carlos Santana was described in the same line.

Yes, that is true.

Have you both met?

Yes. We are friends.

Can both of you play each other’s guitar?

If Carlos drops his guitar, I will try my best. If I drop mine, when he picks it he will see how I tuned it. He plays zone on regular and mine is open chord.

Are you planning to work together?

Yes, but he has just been inducted into the Music Hall of Fame and we are still celebrating that achievement. Maybe later we will still get down to think of future collaboration.
