I came in with a completely new perspective. I would write songs and they would pick tunes they felt were in the Purple vein.
Right now I feel so inspired, it's hard to believe. I've written about 20 songs in the last two days. I'd gone about four months without writing a thing.
When I got to LA and was with the James Gang, I got the opportunity to write a lot, to play in front of large audiences, make some money.
For me, practice isn't doing scales but doing things like writing, jamming with other people, or playing gigs.
