Being A Solo Artist Is

These Days I Don't Look To Other People With The Objective Of Trying To Steal Their Licks, Although I've Got No Objections To Stealing Them If That Seems Like A Good Idea. I'm Sure That I'm Still Influenced By Mark Knopfler And Eddie Van Halen As Well......i Can't Play Like Eddie Van Halen. I Wish I Could. I Sat Down To Try Some Of Those Ideas And Can't Do It. I Don't Know If I Could Ever Get Any Of That Stuff Together. Sometimes I Think I Should Work At The Guitar More.

Obviously, They're All A Gang Of Idiots. But, You Know... Live And Let Live.

I Don't Even Think Whether I Play The Blues Or Not, I Just Play Whatever Feels Right At The Moment.

I Think Myself That, Rather Like Books, Music Is Meant To Enter Into The Brain, Well Via Your Ears Rather Than Your Eyes But, It's - I Think A Lot More Should Be Left To The Imagination.

Being A Solo Artist Is What I Do. It's What I've Been Doing For The Last 20 Years And A Bit Before Then.
