“I love blues guitar because of the sound of the instrument but, for the more interesting harmonic element, I’ve always listened to tenor saxophone: Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Archie Shepp and Pharaoh Sanders. I never listed to jazz guitarists very much, I found the sound to be all the same: big-bodied guitar: rhythm pickup: dark, warm wound. Everybody played that way! But with blues guitar there’s a whole range of different sounds”. – Robben Ford
