Everyone Goes To Rotten Schools When They're

I Don't, Consciously Anyways, Sort Of Listen To Things With The Idea Of Getting Something From Them That I Can Use.

The Internet Seems To Be What A Lot Of Independent Bands Are Doing These Days. They're Bypassing The Studio - The Big Studios, Emi And All The Record Companies - And Just Doing It Themselves, Online, Selling Their Stuff, Getting Known Through That Medium.

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.

The Idea Of Going Around To Somebody Else's Flat Or House And Sitting Around In A Comfy Room And Having A Really Good Hi-fi System And Listening To A Whole Album All The Way Through, Then Chatting For A Few Minutes, Then Maybe Putting Another Album On . . . Does That Happen Today?

For Me, Gradually Over The Years, You Refined Your Tastes In The Way You Do Things And It Becomes Maybe Less Experimental.
