I Think Once You've Seen A Song

I'm English And I Am British. I Don't Know If I Feel Part Of A Music Scene. Musically, I Have As Many Feelings And Affinity With Americans Or Canadians, Or All Sorts Of People As I Do With English People.

I Think I Could Walk Into Any Music Shop Anywhere And With A Guitar Off The Rack, A Couple Of Basic Pedals And An Amp I Could Sound Just Like Me. There's No Devices, Customized Or Otherwise, That Give Me My Sound.

I Think Once You've Seen A Song With A Video, It Limits Your Own Mind's Ability To Read Into It Anything Other Than What You've Seen.

I Can Remember A Lot Of Nights Performing In Those Early Years Where You Felt That You Hit Some Good Moments, But A Lot Of The Time You're Thinking, "oh, God, This Isn't Quite Making It." So I Think That Is What Makes You In The End Refine Your View Of Things A Little Bit.

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.
