I've got four or five records in my head at a time that I try to work on and I would like to do a guitar trio record next - since The Police I've mostly made records with keyboards.

Ive also just come off a year and a half playing acoustic shows which is fantastic for the hands, and changes your head a little bit.

What I wanted to do was play the guitar but I don't like instrumental rock. I think it is tripe.

Start with the titles, and then build the music that goes with them.

You're on the stage and you've got all those people yelling at you, so you better be right in the moment, reacting to that. It's completely live and organic. Even 20 years later, it's the same thing. You may be even better on your instrument. Hopefully, you are.

It's exciting to see if you can create something that sounds, at least to your own ears, exciting.

If you're 20 years old, you've grown up without buying albums.
