Music has nothing to do with your technical ability.
It's impossible to play a run with as much feeling as a single note. I've never been so much into runs as making single notes cry.
Radio is commercial, isn't it. Its a business.
I will obviously take on board everything from my past, I always do.
I got a guitar when I was about 14, for a Christmas present, and went from there.
It's great to have something you can be proud of.
