Have you ever recorded a demo version of a song or a guitar solo that was so good you struggled to replicate it?
Geoff Collins, via email

“This goes back to how one writes solos. For the most part, I’d say 80 to 90 per cent of my solos are first-take – they just come spontaneously. Before I go in to make the record, I figure out a structure that I feel every time I play that part, so what ends up on the record is similar to the first thing I ever played, but actually going back to demos and studying them note for note? I avoid that.”

I read that you’re a fan of cooking shows. What is your favourite food to eat?

“I’ve burned out on cooking shows! I’m not a hugely picky eater. As long as it doesn’t have anything to do with fish, I’m good.”
