I'm Not Good Enough, Technically, To Be

The Only Way You Can Get Good, Unless You're A Genius, Is To Copy. That's The Best Thing. Just Steal.

I Was Impressed By Hendrix. Not So Much By His Playing, As His Attitude - He Wasn't A Great Player, But Everything Else About Him Was Brilliant.

I'm Not One For Sitting Around Listening To My Own Music, Because I Tend To Cringe And Think That I Could Have Done Better. I Also Suffer From Red Light Syndrome Quite A Lot. I Tend To Narrow My Thinking When The Red Light Goes On To Record. Instead Of Just Relaxing And Playing And Emoting, I Think Of Time Being Wasted So I Won't Take A Chance On Something. Consequently, When I Hear It Back, I Think, "why The Hell Did I Play It So Safe On That Piece Of Music When I Could Have Really Opened Up?" Well, It's Because Of Not Wanting To Make A Mistake.

When You're Recording, If You're Not Really Clean In Your Playing, It Sounds Like A Mess.

I However Don't Go To Clubs To Show Off And To Be Seen, And Certainly Not To Make Statements. I Just Want To Be Able To Quietly Watch A Band.
