It is not very practical in today's world when you tour all over the place having a big band.
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.
To go see a band in a big venue is a difficult experience. I don't really like that too much. I'm not a guy who puts on iTunes and goes, "Oh, what's hot!" I don't need to.
I don't go out much to see bands. I prefer to be on stage.
Essentially we were a rock band playing rock songs but I was able to bring in some much more unusual guitar stylings as had been previously heard.
Then ultimately I was in a band called The Police by which time I played a lot of classical guitar, studied classic music, played jazz, rock.
