While I was with Procol Harum, the only time I'd see my guitar was either when I walked onstage or in the studio.

I've got very strong hands from playing for many years.

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

If you feel people getting on about what you are doing, it gives you a lift.

I can't say I feel influenced by today's guitar players.

I got a guitar when I was about 14, for a Christmas present, and went from there.

I wouldn't count myself as being a true blues guitarist because I feel you have to live it.
