|  "George
was a big inspiration to me as I was learning to play guitar and while I was the
lead guitar player in the Jefferson Starship. He is still inspiring me in my own
solo career. Before I had ever sold one single record I would listen to George's
guitar playing in my bedroom. As a teenager I would play along with his music
and try and follow his style of rhythmic and soulful phrasing. I loved the way
he would sing the same melodies and riffs he was playing on the guitar and I began
to try and master that same technique in my bedroom. My parents were probably
cringing in the living room at first! I actually did a few concerts with George
Benson and my own band on the same bill. I got to hang out backstage with him
and as much as I wanted to tell him all these stories all I could do was smile
and enjoy his playing and singing. I have to add he seems like a really nice guy"
