Yes and for two reasons: one, I couldn’t find anything to imitate at the time, and secondly because what I heard on the radio didn’t bear any resemblance to what I wanted to hear on the guitar Picture Quote #1
It depends on the time of the year and who I’ve been talking to, I try to put people in the studio I like Picture Quote #1

The principle element in a performance is risk, and if you’re losing interest then by scaring yourself to death the audience will feel it and boy it’ll wake them up Picture Quote #1
The bulk of my set is instrumental and you have to give yourself and the audience some relief because a performance is not about great guitar playing it’s really about entertainment Picture Quote #1

I had been playing single note instruments and I wanted to hear a guitar played as a piano Picture Quote #1
I don’t spend a lot of time thinking of what they’ll do musically, I try to imagine being locked into a windowless room with this person for twelve hours at a time. If you can look at that and think it might be fun then maybe you’ve got the right musician Picture Quote #1
I do have a library of events I can talk about and I always expect to find a different point of view on it so even if I talk about the same event in the same town it’s fresh Picture Quote #1
I am evidence that you don’t have to sell a lot of records or succeed in the usual way to have a big audience and a job Picture Quote #1
