I can't say I feel influenced by today's guitar players.
I was very keen on people like Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gene Vincent.
To me there's a definite way of doing a song. If I didn't think that, I wouldn't have done it that way in the first place.
If all you've got is somebody else's stuff that you've lifted, nothing really deep, then it is going to thin out.
It all comes down to the density of the wood. Every guitar's different.
I don't tend to stand still for very long.
