James Taylor

And one of them was that great... album recorded in 1963 in three days here in Manhattan. Astrid Gilberto, Joan Gilberto, Girl from Ipanema. And that stuff had a huge effect on me. I loved the chords, I loved the, you know, for a guitarist, that Brazilian thing is just a rich vein to get into. And man, I couldn't get enough. So, and I, you know, that song more recently, the...

The idea of that song, it was sort of like one-note samba. It's just that . And then the changes move underneath it, and that's a very Brazilian, very Jobim thing to do. So I was hugely impressed by that stuff, and it was a great source for me. What happened is I developed a little bit of a guitar style from playing Christmas carols and hymns from school.

And from then, I fell into The Beatles and Jobim. And it really, I found that I had enough of a technique to be able to adapt those things into it.
