Just saw a tweet from Richie Kotzen
"My fav quote tonight 'which one of my songs would you like to hear me fcuk up next?''
If he was saying it about his own stuff, super humble and humorous. Nonetheless, I feel like that all the time when I happen to play and someone's around.

I reckon there needs to be a bit of humility, but confidence as well.
I saw an interview with Slash where he said he doesn't think of himself as great, he's still trying to do what he did when he was 15 years old.
I have the feeling I posted that already?

It can be annoying too. Allan Holdsworth with his "I can't play the guitar. I never even wanted to play the guitar." Well Allan, where does that leave the rest of us? >☹

I reckon the Kotzen one was him maybe feeling he had a bad night or really screwed something up in the previous song, hehe. The responses all said it was a brilliant show. I guess we just all have those moments... even those awesomely good people.
As for the Holdsworth thing... I dunno. Even Jimmy Page was embarrassed for what he played... no idea why. Maybe he felt it was too simple compared to a Clapton or Beck thing at the time. Or he was just being a snotty bitch.
At any GIT thing where van Halen was, whenever he was asked to play something he ran away. Maybe the half a tongue got to him and he was shy.
