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.

I was totally into jazz in my teens.

The most obvious thing you can't do with a guitar synthesizer is to really sound like a guitar.

More recently, I used guitar synthesizer extensively on the two albums I did with Robert Fripp.

I like to play with someone who can cover a lot of ground and someone with whom you can discuss the language at a reasonable level; otherwise it gets a bit frustrating.

I'm just trying to avoid any sort of generic kind of music - I don't want to do generic jazz or fusion.

My favorite sounds are the high, spacey ones that are very ambient.
