It all comes down to the density of the wood. Every guitar's different.
I will obviously take on board everything from my past, I always do.
I think it's a sensible thing not to read your fan mail - not to take it too seriously.
When you start believing you're something special, then you're not going to be striving to move forward.
It gives me a good feeling to know that people out there really care.
I got a guitar when I was about 14, for a Christmas present, and went from there.
