Raul, have you ever heard of Eric Clapton? He’s been playing the same five notes for 50 years! B.B. King has been playing the same three notes for 60 years! The Rolling Stones have been playing the same like a stone chords for 50 years! The kind of music that I make is quite diverse in the sense that it doesn’t just have one aspect—it goes from neoclassical to bluesy to metal. People who think that I make the same record over and over again are narrow-minded.

Any artist who has their own sound, from Sting to Iron Maiden to ZZ Top—for them to change would be mad. Having your own definable sound is something that should be treasured. Nobody tells Angus Young to change. Anyone who has a narrow-minded view of me, well, what do they have to offer? I’m proud to have started a style of music that has been copied. How could someone ask me to reinvent my style?

What kind of talk is that? I’m an artist. I’m not a waiter who takes orders from people. As for taking my neoclassical style to the next level, I composed a symphony [Concerto Suite for the Electric Guitar and Orchestra, 1998]. How’s that for the next level!
