Guitar Quotes

Right now, it hasn’t affected my music other than the fact that I don’t have time to write any of it. That’s no different from when I first started and I lived at home. I would play the guitar in the afternoon and then my mom or my dad would come home and I’d have to quit Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t originally a bass player. I just found out I was needed, because everyone wants to play guitar Picture Quote #1

I play piano and guitar. Acoustic guitar. I tried studying classical guitar when I was 16 but it got really hard. I could never play a lead to save my life Picture Quote #1

Nobody could understand why a guy would love his guitar, then all of a sudden turn around and try to destroy it. Jimi was just different Picture Quote #1

So you do shorter versions of the hits, or you take out a long guitar solo or things like that to make time for the hits and new music as well. But I don’t think any of us ever get to do as much new music as we would like to Picture Quote #1

Unfortunately, most of the songs that I write I don’t write them with guitar in mind. I just write it as a song and that was probably one of the ones that left an opening for it. The song’s all right, I wouldn’t choose to sing it now Picture Quote #1

I love the fact that I can go out there on stage with a guitar and sing a song that means something to somebody Picture Quote #1

I don’t like to practice; I like spontaneity. When I don’t play guitar for a week and I pick it up again, I play better Picture Quote #1

Any guitar solo should reflect the music that it’s soloing over and not just be existing in its own sort of little world Picture Quote #1

Rock guitarists usually do not wish to think trains of thought about anything but their own guitar playing during a long solo, and I could not play this way if I were not able to divide my attention between my ever changing musical environment and my instrument itself Picture Quote #1

All of my kids are into music. My older daughter plays guitar, piano, sings. My young son, he sings Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned not to let it be the end of the world if a boy doesn’t like you. I used to put so much effort into boys. I started playing guitar because I wanted to impress this boy. Then, I ended up in love with guitar and I didn’t care about the boy anymore Picture Quote #1

A guitar is a very personal extension of the person playing it. You have to be emotionally and spiritually connected to your instrument. I’m very brutal on my instruments, but not all the time Picture Quote #1

I destroyed a lot of guitars trying to get them to do what I wanted, but I learned something from every guitar I tore apart, and discovered even more things. Things like if the string is not straight from the bridge saddle to the nut, you’re going to have friction Picture Quote #1

Guitar playing is both extremely easy for me and extremely difficult for me at the same time Picture Quote #1

If a guitar is too easy for me to play, it makes me too laid back. I like to battle with my guitar Picture Quote #1

A bass player has to think and play like a bass player. A drummer has to play and think like a drummer, and stay out of the way of the vocalist. The guitar player has to respect everybody else Picture Quote #1

I’m not that fluid when it comes to scales and modes. I just pick up the guitar and play. It’s all about exploration: just tune the guitar any way you want and start playing Picture Quote #1

My mother is a singer, my sisters all sing, my uncles are incredible singers and guitar players, so it’s just kind of been like my habitat Picture Quote #1

All I do is sit at home and play guitar. That’s seriously what I do Picture Quote #1

I can plunk out enough chords to write a song, but I’m completely afraid to play guitar in front of other people. It’s a fear of failure, I guess Picture Quote #1

I did pick up a guitar once, but the strings hurt my fingers so I put it down again Picture Quote #1

Let me explain something about guitar playing. Everyone’s got their own character, and that’s the thing that’s amazed me about guitar playing since the day I first picked it up. Everyone’s approach to what can come out of six strings is different from another person, but it’s all valid Picture Quote #1

I believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it Picture Quote #1

I had no aspirations to be a musician, but I picked up a guitar for two seconds and haven’t put it down since Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been able to sit round on my own and play drums, practice in the back room, never been able to. I’ve always played with other musicians. It’s how I play, there’s no joy for me in playing on my own, bashing away. I need a bass, a piano, guitar, whatever, and then I can play Picture Quote #1

I’m fine with being thought of as a guitar player, and if I can get any recognition or respect for doing that, that’s a pretty good thing for me Picture Quote #1

The magic that you find in surf music, I think, is really timeless. You know, when I was very young, I was in a surf band. Surf music is an instrumental music that still means a lot to me, not in an nostalgic way, but as something that really gets to the heart of the guitar itself Picture Quote #1
