I don't go out much to see bands. I prefer to be on stage.

Of course the playing is important but writing and the establishing of what you are going for is prime too.

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.

Im better for it and I prefer to keep things simple and see what sounds I can get out of my head and hands rather than relying on a sound that someone else created.

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

I don't have a great nostalgia for the past.

I don't like playing standards. I like to do my own cutting edge work.
