I don't really see expanding my technique at all.
I don't really feel that I want to play more,
that I probably want to play less.
And for me, the difficult thing is actually,
apart from actually isn't playing the notes,
of course it's getting the feel of those notes,
actually making those swing and making them mean something,
and having the freedom really to improvise,
and the confidence to, when you're playing [Gb] solo,
[N] and you're improvising, to have the confidence and freedom
to be able to play really what comes to mind,
and not to be worried about trying to fill things out,
but having the confidence in fact to stop sometimes
and just set the whole thing up
so that you have a feel going on all the time.
So that's what I try to do, I like to set the whole thing up
so the audience, the listener,
then is feeling the pulse of what's happening,
and then I can improvise over the top of it.
Hopefully they can feel the pulse.
If they don't feel it, then they may wonder what's going on.
But if they can feel the rhythm, the thing that's going on,
then I can kind of hand that job over to the listener,
to the audience, and let them almost be the metronome or rhythm section,
and then I play over the top.
So a lot of things I do, I suggest a lot of things,
rather than actually playing everything,
I give the impression of playing things,
and hopefully if the listener feels that pulse,
then I can hand a little bit of the music over to them,
they've got that feeling going on inside them,
and then I can loosen up, and I can play a little bit sparser,
just put things in here and there.
And hopefully, rather than playing more,
and becoming more technically proficient,
I just want to become freer,
so that I have more freedom in my playing.
And when I see some great players that do tapping things,
which is incredible, I've never done it
because I've never found a musical reason to play it,
for the musical ideas that I have don't incorporate,
they don't need that.
I've got involved in playing harmonics,
like the kind of false [Eb] harmonic, that kind of thing,
because I hear that as kind of an extension, like a harp,
so that if I play a run down here,
it's a way of extending that arpeggio
in the same way a piano player would do, or on a harp.
So I've incorporated that technique,
but I've never thought of incorporating techniques
because I felt that I had to,
because when it comes down to it, I'm trying to play music,
and the guitar is the tool that I'm using for that,
and I just use it to express my musical ideas.
