Quotes:
Every guitar I own gets used and has its purpose.
I bad a piano long before I bad a guitar, and the practice I got just playing those three chords in a basic 12-bar blues song was very important.
I don't like definitions, but if there is a definition of freedom, it would be when you have control over your reality to transform it, to change it, rather than having it imposed upon you. You can't really ask for more than.
I don't really think of Dire Straits as a sound, you know. It. just depends on the song, and the stuff we're doing is so varied.
I even played bass for a while. Besides playing electric guitar, I'd also get asked to play some acoustic stuff. But, since I didn't have an acoustic guitar at the time, I used to borrow one from a friend so I could play folk joints.
I love Gibsons, and Nationals, too. There's something magical about them.
I was into playing American music, especially the blues.
I'm not a collector, however, and I have no desire to own 50 or 60 guitars.
My playing is fairly straightforward, really, and everything's pretty much standard no frills or special effects.
There happened to be guitar classes at the college, and there was a guitar teacher there with whom I used to play. In addition, I also would go out into country schools and teach little kids basic guitar and singing a few times a week.
Well, I was born in Scotland and spent the first six years of my life there. Then I went to Newcastle-On-Tyne in northeast England, close to Scotland.
While I was into many different types of music, and played with many different local groups, I really didn't have a band to call my own until Dire Straits was formed in 1977.
