I do a solo that’s nothing like the original, and it’s very much my style, and I wrote that solo, so for me, it’s a good moment. The more I’ve been playing with them, it’s become more of my own, and I’ve put my own stamp on it. The original guitar parts it’s a very well-constructed song that I’ve been allowed to interpret in my own way over the years. It’s a beautiful song and it’s one of my favourite songs of theirs to listen to, but also to play live. Yeah, that is one of my favourites to play. What are your favourite tracks to play ‘Ordinary World’ has got to be up there? Yeah, totally different types of guitar players. Not only that, you’re covering the parts of both Andy Taylor and Warren Cuccurullo, as well as your own. Obviously a Les Paul sounds different to a Strat, and their songs are so diverse and the guitar parts are very diverse within the songs, so you have to have all these different guitars. When I first started working with the band, those guitars seemed to the ones closest to those sounds on the records. I’m using Telecasters, Strats, and Les Pauls, pretty much just standard stuff.ĭo you need to change guitars often to meet the demands of each song? So my guitar tech, it’s particularly challenging for him because he’s literally, sometimes we do two in a row, but it’s normally every song a guitar comes off and he hands me a new one. It was more to start with, but I’ve managed to reduce that. On each night I would say I probably use about five different guitars. What sort of equipment do you take on tour with Duran Duran? ![]() I’ve done four world tours with the guys now, and it’s always a fantastic experience. Yeah, that tour was a colourful tour! We had all very outlandish coloured clothing. ![]() We done so many shows on that run, and I think we’d just come back from Lollapalooza then, over in South America. The last time I caught you was when you played with Duran Duran at Electric Picnic in Ireland how was that ‘Paper Gods’ tour for you? ![]() I’ll maybe do another solo album, but I think I’ll let people digest this one first. I’ve been working on a bit of new music that I’m not sure what to do with yet. Hi Dom, how are you doing? I can see you’re in your studio?
