I'm not a guitarist as far as a technician goes, I just pick it up and play it. Technique doesn't come into it.

I'm just looking for an angel with a broken wing.

When you hear the melodic structures of what classical musicians put together and you compare it to that of a rock & roll record, there's a hell of a long way rock & roll has to go.

The guitar to me, from the classical/gut-string guitar right through to Hendrix, et cetera, has all the range [of sound]. Within those six strings it is incredible what one can get sound-wise. It's just down to imagination, really.

So many people are frightened to take a chance in life and there's so many chances you have to take.

There's music that can affect people in their lives, and they will always relate to the point that they heard it and experienced it, either if you're playing it or you're receptive, as an audience.

I like change and I like contrast.
