A wah-wah is important as well. I love it; it makes the guitar scream.
The States still has the best audiences by far.
It all comes down to the density of the wood. Every guitar's different.
I don't tend to have a favorite album; I tend to have favorite tracks. There are flaws in every album that spoil it for me.
I didn't want to get attached to one guitar; I didn't want to have an instrument that was irreplaceable.
If you feel people getting on about what you are doing, it gives you a lift.
