Moin,
hab gestern im Web rumgestöbert u bin auf ein Interview gestoßen, welches Robin Trower dem Guitar Player 1980 gab. :-D. Hier ein interessanter Auszug:
Do you have any advise for young guitarist?
The first thing I'd do, on a practical level, would be to use as high an action as possible on the Stratocaster. It's the only way to get a good sound out of the instrument. That's something that took me years to come down to; so I've just saved them about four years of messing about. When I used to go and buy a Strat, old or new, I would go through them all and listen to them acoustically. The one that had the best acoustic sound I'd check out for it's electric sound. If it doesn't sound good without an amp, it'll never sound great with one. The most important thing, however, is that high action. You've got to learn to work with it because it helps you to bend and to get your fingers behind the strings and be able to push them up and hold them there. If your action's too low, then you're going to have trouble with it snapping back underneath your finger. With strings, use only as light a gauge as you have to. The heavier the better, obviously, because the heavier the string, the bigger sound you're going to get.
