I Don't Feel I Have To Top

I Do Really Believe That All Guitarists Have A Different Character That Comes Through, That's A Strong Character, The Stronger The Person Is.

I Always Felt If We Were Going In To Do An Album, There Should Already Be A Lot Of Structure Already Made Up So We Could Get On With That And See What Else Happened.

Let Me Explain Something About Guitar Playing. Everyone's Got Their Own Character, And That's The Thing That's Amazed Me About Guitar Playing Since The Day I First Picked It Up. Everyone's Approach To What Can Come Out Of Six Strings Is Different From Another Person, But It's All Valid.

There's Such A Wealth Of Arts And Styles Within The Guitar... Flamenco, Jazz, Rock, Blues... You Name It, It's There. In The Early Days My Dream Was To Fuse All Those Styles. Now Composing Has Become Just As Important.

I Think It Was That We Were Really Seasoned Musicians. We Had Serious Roots That Spanned Different Cultures, Obviously The Blues.
