I spend a lot of time working as a painter and in my studio I go from upstairs where I paint to downstairs where I play and record, so I get this thing crossing over.
I'm just trying to avoid any sort of generic kind of music - I don't want to do generic jazz or fusion.
In The Police, in a trio situation - which I've come back to now - it's just so wide open that it does actually provide this arena where you can play with a certain freedom.
I'm better for it and I prefer to keep things simple and see what sounds I can get out of my head and hands rather than relying on a sound that someone else created.
I actually think I play better now than I've ever played.
There was a period when I'd just come out of college where I'd been playing classical guitar and I suddenly realised that it wasn't what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.
Actually, I think my hands are in the best shape they've ever been in terms of what I can do.
It accumulates over the years and I've led so many bands of my own now and forced myself into new situations... You would hope that you play better and better - until you just get too feeble to do it anymore.

For me, the guitar synthesizer is a great writing instrument.
If I'm playing a violin thing, for instance, I tend to respond to that sound with the way I finger.
The most obvious thing you can't do with a guitar synthesizer is to really sound like a guitar.
My favorite sounds are the high, spacey ones that are very ambient.
More recently, I used guitar synthesizer extensively on the two albums I did with Robert Fripp.
It's been very hard for the guitar as a serious synthesizer to compete with keyboards.
If the guitar synthesizer is really going to stand as a synthesizer on its own, it needs to develop a more characteristic sound; I don' think it's gotten there yet.
Of course the playing is important but writing and the establishing of what you are going for is prime too.
It is not very practical in today's world when you tour all over the place having a big band.
I would like to play with electronic keyboards again.
I think rock records tend to be very expensive.
I think we are coming to a new era where people will record much faster.
I was totally into jazz in my teens.
I don't have a great nostalgia for the past.
I am pretty embroiled in moving on and moving forward with music.
I don't like playing standards. I like to do my own cutting edge work.
What I wanted to do was play the guitar but I don't like instrumental rock. I think it is tripe.
