Leo Kottke: the Innerviews interview

Innerviews has an in-depth interview with guitarist Leo Kottke. About his writing process:
There's the tune and then there's the writing that has been going on in my head since I first made up an E chord. Immediately, I was doing what I'm doing now. In the beginning, I was just trying to make sounds. That's all I'm still really doing now, but I've learned a lot. This arc continues and I fill it out more. I have a bigger appetite. My curiosity keeps growing as well, as does my technique and execution. Curiosity is the engine for just about everything with me. Someone who's like Donald Trump is out of luck on that front.
Since I was 11, I recapitulate every time a tune starts showing up. It would show up as a figure, progression or a verse. It could also be as simple as hitting early on the overtones and fretting afterwards. Michael Hedges told me what got him going was when he heard me doing that. But what he did was a universe away from that.
