I could listen to this guy play all day long but equally I could listen to him talk guitar. This one of the most engaging interviews I've read in a guitar magazine for many years.
I love this quote on learning modes:
If you think you’ve learned the scale, can you sing it? Can you scat it without having a guitar there or without having a shape to guide you? If you can’t sing it or feel it, then you don’t really own that scale. You just memorized the short cut to those notes.
Definitely worth a read if you have 15mins to spare:
