As much as I love acoustic Neil Young - and I do deeply - I may be more passionate about the electric. Luckily it’s not a contest, and we never have to make that choice. But Neil Young on an electric guitar - I feel like I’ve never seen or heard anything like it Picture Quote #1

I suppose when I started playing guitar, it was the means to an end. I never thought of myself as a fully fledged guitar instrumentalist. And my early excursions on the electric guitar were curtailed when Eric Clapton came on the scene, and I decided I was never going to be in the same arena as a Clapton or a Peter Green Picture Quote #1

When I was a teenager, I really didn’t like loud rock music. I listened to jazz and blues and folk music. I’ve always preferred acoustic music. And it was only, I suppose, by the time Jethro Tull was getting underway that we did let the music begin to have a harder edge, in particular with the electric guitar being alongside the flute Picture Quote #1

I knew absolutely nothing about recording. I had this four-track recorder, and I’d plug my electric guitar right into it, which sounded real bad. I moved any fader that made a drastic change in sound. I thought that was cool - that it was communicating something. I didn’t have the skills to do anything subtle. It was just like screaming Picture Quote #1

If the person who can effectively sanction ill-conceived wars can play the electric guitar, which is a symbol of rebellion, then that whole worldview becomes confused Picture Quote #1

Being 16 years old and getting an electric guitar is never going to get old. There’s always going to be kids making music. There’s always going to be kids in bands Picture Quote #1

Playing an unamplified electric guitar is like strumming on a picnic table Picture Quote #1

I bought my first electric guitar when I moved to Memphis; a Gibson with a DeArmond pickup which I used with a small Gibson amplifier Picture Quote #1

If I were a 13-year-old and I wanted to create subversive art, I wouldn’t go out and buy an electric guitar. I’d get myself a personal computer Picture Quote #1

The electric guitar meant that you could have a band with a drummer and a couple of guitars. And that put a lot of horn players out of work Picture Quote #1

In oddball places, the electric guitar has been taken as an almost alien object - this weird, six-stringed instrument that fell down to earth and was then played loud but with traditional grace and intelligence Picture Quote #1

Without the Fender bass, there’d be no rock n’ roll or no Motown. The electric guitar had been waiting ‘round since 1939 for a nice partner to come along. It became an electric rhythm section, and that changed everything Picture Quote #1

My parents got me a $25 Kent steel-string acoustic guitar when I was around 12. The following Christmas, my parents bought me a Conora electric guitar. It looked almost like a Gretsch. It cost $59, and my mom still has it Picture Quote #1

My stepfather met my mother when I was seven years old, and he was a guitar player. So he caught me messing with his guitar, his electric guitar, and he tried to show me some chords, but my hands were too small Picture Quote #1

My stepfather had an electric guitar. He went to his pawn store one day to get a guitar and an amp, and I couldn’t understand what I was hearing. All afternoon, I just sat against the amp and let it reverberate through me. Something must have stuck Picture Quote #1

If I sit down with an electric guitar, what’s going to come out are Sabbath/Zeppelin type riffs, but if I’m sitting behind a piano late at night, I might write something like ‘Desperado.’ You’re not going to write ‘Desperado’ between a wall of Marshalls and thumping, crushing volume Picture Quote #1

My Portuguese uncle had a Portuguese version of a ukulele. The family would pull it out after dinner and play Portuguese folk songs on it. I couldn’t wait for him to finish so I could get my hands on it. I was seven or eight years old. And he used to have a Fender amp in his house and an electric guitar. I would spend hours making sounds Picture Quote #1

The Marshall guitar amplifier doesn’t just get louder when you turn it up. It distorts the sound to produce a whole range of new harmonics, effectively turning a plucked string instrument into a bowed one. A responsible designer might try to overcome this limitation - probably the engineers at Marshall tried, too. But that sound became the sound of, among others, Jimi Hendrix. That sound is called electric guitar Picture Quote #1

Sometimes [people] seem to think I came out of the womb, you know, cursing, with an electric guitar Picture Quote #1

Of course the folk guitar is the one I play very often, but I wanted a more electric sound Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been at war with the guitar. All vocalists are fighting a war with the electric rhythm guitar Picture Quote #1

We play loud electric guitar music, and we’d hope that that doesn’t mean you have to act like an asshole Picture Quote #1

The electric guitar was vital in helping what I’ve achieved where would I be without it? Playing awfully quietly, for a start Picture Quote #1
