I Don't Go Walking Into

Once I Get Onstage The Tension Explodes And I'm Fine. I'm In Another World - In A Trance Almost, Doing What I Love Best, Expressing Myself Through Guitar.

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.

When I Started Doing Sessions, The Guitar Was In Vogue. I Was Playing Solos Every Day.

You Get As Much Out Of Rock & Roll Artistically As You Put Into It. There's Nobody Who Can Teach You. You're On Your Own And That's What I Find So Fascinating About It.

If I Ever Really Felt Depressed, I Would Just Start Putting On All My Old Records That I Played As A Kid, Because The Whole Thing That Really Lifted Me Then Still Lifted Me During Those Other Times. It Was Good Medicine For Me, And It Still Does That For Me When I Put Something On. Isn't It Wonderful That We've Got All That Good Medicine? I Think It's Got To Be All Part Of Our Dna, This Mass Communication Through Music. That's What It Is. It's Got To Be, Hasn't It? Music Is The One Thing That Has Been Consistently There For Me. It Hasn't Let Me Down.
