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.
If you feel people getting on about what you are doing, it gives you a lift.
There's more power in the simpler things, I think.
I will obviously take on board everything from my past, I always do.
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.
I feel that my playing on the first album was probably some of my best.
