Robin Trower

When I was a little kid, I was very impressed with Elvis.

It all comes down to the density of the wood. Every guitar's different.

I can't say I feel influenced by today's guitar players.

I got a guitar when I was about 14, for a Christmas present, and went from there.

I think the fundamental part of my technique is my vibrato.

A wah-wah is important as well. I love it; it makes the guitar scream.

It was an experience being on a Beatles tour. They weren't very good. The singing was great, but the playing was a bit weak.

I've always been the first to admit that Jimi was a very big influence on my early stuff.

Radio is commercial, isn't it. Its a business.

I wouldn't count myself as being a true blues guitarist because I feel you have to live it.

While I was with Procol Harum, the only time I'd see my guitar was either when I walked onstage or in the studio.

I go through about two Fender mediums a night because I don't pick straight down; it's sort of sideways, and it shaves them off.
