No. I usually rest in my satin-lined coffin, actually. I'm not allowed out in daylight hours.

Image
I'm not a guitarist as far as a technician goes, I just pick it up and play it. Technique doesn't come into it.

Domesticity and all that isn't really for me.

From the classical guitar right through to the furthest electrical experiments and everything in-between, it's amazing what the guitar can actually do. I mean, when one thinks about sounds.

This week, I'm a gypsy. Maybe next week it'll be glitter rock.

I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.

The idea of a hypnotic riff as the prime mover of a piece of music has been around for a long time, whether you're talking about the Delta blues or music from Middle Eastern and African cultures.
