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.

There's so much that can be done on the guitar. And that's what is so good about the guitar - everyone can really enjoy themselves on it and have a good time, which is what it's all about.

Live Aid did feel like one hour's rehearsal after several years, but to be part of Live Aid was wonderful. It reall was.

My vocation is more in composition really than anything else - building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army, a guitar army.

I know where I'm going musically. I can see my pattern and I'm going much slower than I thought I'd be going.
