If you're a guitarist, you should not be intimidated by using your instrument as a synthesizer, but you shouldn't feel that you have to own one, either.

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

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.

I would like to play with electronic keyboards again.

Coming from the era of vinyl you could argue that everything went wrong in the music business the moment we went digital. The day the first CD came out, it all went downhill in the music industry. Digital destroyed everything.

You come off of this screaming audience of many, many thousands of people. I used to find it very weird. You have two choices. Either you can stay and pump flesh with hundreds of people after the show, which really gets old, or you can come off stage, get into the car, and go straight out the back and away, back to the hotel.
