I play a couple basic folks songs and break them down. I did that on a six string. I can't recall all the songs on it. There's some finger picking on it.

If there's anybody who knew how to play in a studio, it was Duane Allman.

Simon Hale, the British arranger, does all string and wood arrangements on my records.

That was the producer who produced a couple of my solo albums. He produced my second, third and fourth solo albums. It was his project and I just joined him on it. I sang on one and played bass on another one.

We spent a month in LA using a pool of musicians, a string arranger called Benjamin Wright, some great backing singers, and it gave tracks like Dynamite, which was written there, that kind of flavour.

I was a guitar player first off.

I was a big music fan, but I never bought a bunch of records or was very educated, I guess, on who was who or what was what.

I was a drummer and I played the guitar.

The guitar chose me.

My first record I owned was by Les Paul.
