So if you see Ten Years After, it's not me anymore. I'm very happy with what I am doing now.

I think a lot of modern day guitarists start off playing like Eddie van Halen, and they don't take the time to learn the basics.

The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band, but now they are really another band, so it's all a bit weird.

Strangely enough, through all those school years I decided at 13 or 14 I was going to be a musician and so school was just something to get out of the way, a waste of time and not to bother with it.

I began to learn a lot of chords and rhythms. It was a bit boring at the time but came in very handy later on.

Anywhere you go in the world is what you make of it, not what you read in books.
