I'm always happiest trying new instruments - and honestly enjoy playing, say, the glockenspiel with Radiohead as much as I do the guitar. I think regular touring has forced me to play the guitar more than anything else, which is why I'm probably most confident playing that. And whist I'd be lost if I couldn't play it too, I dislike the totemic worship of the thing... magazines, collectors, and so on. I enjoy struggling with instruments I can't really play.

Play every gig
Every song
Every note
Like it's the last one

Never throw it away
Or take it for granted

Pour some gravy on the mashed potatoes
A little catsup on that T-Bone, please
Luther Dickinson
