Playing with Paul Rodgers helped me grow; he was my best teacher as to how to enhance a voice, blues-wise. I hate to play just solos, I prefer to hear his voice and back it up or rip it around or push it - without covering it over. I think my style and his grew up together.

Any questions?

“What were Paul’s main influences, what guitars and amplifiers does he use in the studio and is he releasing a solo album in the near future?” - Gordon Bearsley, Willenhall, Staffs

Paul: “My main influences were Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and Freddie King. I use a Gibson Les Paul guitar with Gibson Sonomatic medium gauge strings on the 6th, 5th and 4th, a heavy plain 3rd and 2nd and a medium 1st. On stage I use a 300 watt Marshall amplifier and in the studio I use a 100 watt Marshall. I have completed my first solo album for release by Island in November.”
