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

I remember the snow in Canada and the lovely weather in New Zealand. And I slightly remember going to school there.

I think the fundamental part of my technique is my vibrato.

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

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

The first real thing I heard was Three O'Clock Blues by B.B. King. That's where it all began for me.

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.
