Robin Trower

“I think the sound of a Marshall amp is the sound of rock and roll.”

“The thing about the Strat is that it's a very versatile guitar. You can get a lot of different sounds out of it.”

“I'm always trying to get my tone, and it's always changing. I'm not a pedal guy. I'm a guitar-into-an-amp guy.”

“For me, the blues is the bedrock of all American music. It's the foundation.”

“Bridge of Sighs was the album where it all came together for me, creatively.”

“Hendrix was a genius. He took the guitar to a whole other place.”

“You've got to play what's in your heart. That's the most important thing.”

“The music has to have some emotional content. It's got to be more than just notes.”

“I don't think of myself as a rock star. I'm a musician.”

“I was very, very influenced by B.B. King. He was the first electric blues guitarist I heard.”

“I'm not interested in being a virtuoso. I'm interested in playing with feeling.”

“The power trio format gives you a lot of space, and I love that space.”

“Songwriting for me is a very mysterious process. I don't really know where the ideas come from.”
