Graham was interviewed for July’s issue of German magazine @gitarreundbass 🎸 “Rose and I didn't intend to make an album. We just wanted to meet so we wouldn't die of boredom in front of the TV during the pandemic, late 2020/early 2021. According to the motto: "Maybe something will come of it." And indeed: we are now a couple, have a baby, a band and an album on which I live out my passion for krautrock, folk and 70s prog. I like it when guitars kind of sing their own song - and I just help them do what they want at the moment, instead of bringing in a lot of myself and my ideas. I'm still a Telecaster fan, but at the same time I've become a bit more open to other things over the years. For example, I have a @gray_guitars and a @pjeggleguitars, which is based a bit on the Les Paul Special. In contrast, the @mansonguitarworks is very modern. And while I love playing old Telecasters, sometimes I want a little more. Namely a guitar that surprises me. And the Mansons have this sustainiac switch that makes the notes have an almost endless sustain. They also have a really good vibrato, which I really enjoy using. I don't think I'll ever buy a really expensive old guitar. I mean, I have a couple of older ones and I hardly ever use them. They're sitting in a warehouse, completely bored, because I don't have room for them here in my little home studio. I sometimes dream of becoming a decent blues guitarist. Not that I'm terrible at it, but I'm not Buddy Guy - and basically nobody is Buddy Guy. I'm more of a guitar player who needs to figure out what's going on in a song and then respond accordingly. I see myself primarily as a supporting character because I know full well that I'll never be Joe Bonamassa or get on a stage and start doing some crazy solos in front of thousands of people. This is not my world.” Hit the link in bio to read the entire interview (in German)! #grahamcoxon #roseelinordougall #thewaeve #blur
