Neil Schon Quotations

I have been in Journey since the beginning. I am the only guy that's actually been on every single record they've made, and I'm not done with that.

Journey for so many years has been based around the song, which is fine, but at some time in my career I want to be a household name.

It has progressively gotten worse, especially for bands like us, that have a large following. We have decided to take it into our own hands.

With soloing, I think it's best to really start strong and end strong, and in the middle, let things fly and throw in some string bending.

Eric Clapton asked me to join his band, Derek and the Dominos. That was the day before Carlos asked me to join him, and I went with Carlos.

Focus on melody, tone and vibrato. I've never been a guitarist that practices scales. I couldn't tell you what scale I'm playing.

At first, when Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar went to do Van Halen, I was angry because we had plans and I had done a lot of work.

It was a lot of fun to be that successful. We reached a very high level of musicality,and for me that's the best part of being in any band.

I know what I want and expect out of a guitar. This Signature model can really turn corners when when you get to the high notes.
