It all comes down to the density of the wood. Every guitar's different.

I feel I've been blessed with a gift of creativity and composition. That's why I've been able to keep going.

I didn't want to get attached to one guitar; I didn't want to have an instrument that was irreplaceable.

I feel that my playing on the first album was probably some of my best.

I go for as much feeling as I can rather than show what I can do up and down the neck. I don't play to show people ability.

I will obviously take on board everything from my past, I always do.

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.
