During my early period I had custom-made overdrive stuff because I didn't like what they were making at the time.

Radio is commercial, isn't it. Its a business.

I don't tend to stand still for very long.

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.

The BBC, during its 24 hours on the air, plays a very wide range of stuff. And it's not commercial.

It gives me a good feeling to know that people out there really care.

I have short hands. That's why I have to bend up to notes; I can't always reach the frets.
