But to me that's common sense, rather than arrogance.
No, I don't remember, but I'm sure I didn't do that just to be a jerk. It must have been prompted by some sort of audio necessity. I really don't think that's conceited. I mean, it didn't sound to me like he was saying, "I'm so great there must have been a brilliant reason." I think, especially based on what John Stewart said about him, that that was one of his regular ways of experimenting and tweaking and he knows it is something he might have done at the time, because it has worked for him to good effect before and, knowing himself, he didn't do it to be demanding and annoying, but probably had a reason.
I mean, I doubt he would also say that he must have had a brilliant reason for doing NGBA in the wrong key after Ken took all of that time changing each string repeatedly. If he'd said that,
then I'd think he was being pompous.
