I have some good books of Bach keyboard music transcribed for guitar, and there's always a nylon-string guitar hanging on the wall in my house and a bunch of classical guitar books to grab. I kind of do that just for fun.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are certain pieces of music that are always attached to certain books.
All of my writing has guitars behind it, even the novels.
I'm not a guitar collector. I own some guitars because I play.
Some books I've kept because the binding is beautiful - I'm unlikely ever to read my grandmother's copy of 'The Life of Lord Nelson.' I'm addicted to secondhand bookshops.
It's great if you can afford to carry a string section on the road with you, but most people are used to the idea of just a keyboard player creating those string sounds.
I'm not the kind of guy who sits around at home and writes songs. Once in a while I'll pick up a guitar and noodle around, but it's rare.
I don't really collect guitars.
So, once I get writing I really try and put five to eight hours a day in my room with a guitar to really try and come up with stuff that feels interesting enough to me to keep it.
We used to play music for fun. Much more than now. Now nobody picks up a guitar unless they're paid for it.
I read and write classical piano and percussion, also guitar.
