Guitar Quotes

I write lyrics. I play the guitar. If the rest of the band had to do my schedule, they would be dead Picture Quote #1

I never took guitar lessons. I took classical piano lessons from the age of six when we lived in Holland Picture Quote #1

A guitar is just theoretically built wrong. Each string is an interval of fourths, and then the B string is off. Theoretically, that’s not right, all the strings should be off Picture Quote #1

For the record, if I were Superman, a pale, scrawny guy holding a guitar would be Kryptonite Picture Quote #1

I don’t really have a relationship with the guitar; it’s like my slutty lover, whereas I’m married to the piano Picture Quote #1

I mean, give me a guitar, give me a piano, give me a broom and string, I wouldn’t get bored anywhere Picture Quote #1

I will concentrate on playing guitar, on lyrics and on singing. I am a part of things; I am not the encompassing ‘Smog.’ Picture Quote #1

I just love crafting and shaping sounds. Actually, many of the sounds that I work with start off as organic instruments - guitar, piano, clarinet, etc. But I do love the rigidity of electronic drums Picture Quote #1

Plus, I grew up with Steve Cropper. There were so many good guitar players another one wasn’t needed. What was needed was a bass Picture Quote #1

Most of my music theory knowledge is based on piano. But I write on guitar a lot, too. I’m not a great guitar player by any means. I’m not a great instrumentalist. I play piano on stage. I don’t play guitar on stage, but I use it to write quite a lot Picture Quote #1

I remember people would talk about Country Music like it was this sexist, lame thing. Well, no, because Dolly Parton is writing songs and playing her guitar and producing. She’s doing it all and she’s got hits on the radio Picture Quote #1

I love Neil Young. His songs were the first songs I learned to play, and I recommend anyone who is starting guitar to learn Neil Young songs first Picture Quote #1

If the wind and rain could play guitar, they would sound a lot like Doc Watson Picture Quote #1

Listening to as many guitar solos as possible is the best method for someone in the early stages. But saxophone solos can be helpful. They’re interesting because they are all single notes, and therefore can be repeated on the guitar. If you can copy a sax solo you’re playing very well, because the average saxophonist can play much better than the average guitarist Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned to take care of myself. You know, I try to stay conscious of whatever my energy is at all times, really. I mean, I come home from work, and, depending on the day or depending on what was going on, if I needed to adjust, I’d just meditate, or play guitar, or watch some ‘Monty Python.’ Picture Quote #1

I was just a music lover who wondered what it would sound like if Otis Redding strapped on a guitar and played in a punk band. Thats it Picture Quote #1

Where I grew up, I could be a punk rocker and a jock. But in college, it became apparent that those two worlds didn’t mix. When I brought my guitar back to school after Thanksgiving break, a friend handed me his bass and said, ‘Listen to the Ramones.’ Picture Quote #1

I was really into music. I started playing guitar also when I was nine. I wanted to be in the Beatles, even though John Lennon died the year I got a guitar and the Beatles broke up before I was born Picture Quote #1

You don’t have to play a whole lot of guitar to be a good blues player. Some people plays too much guitar. Stack it on top of each other the way it don’t - you’re working too fast. Blues not supposed to be played fast. Blues supposed to be played slow. You could kill a man with just one chord Picture Quote #1

Weirdly enough, if I’m having trouble with a guitar part - not the playing of it but the writing - I’ll mess around with echo and other effects, just turn everything up and make it as crazy as can be, and it winds up taking me somewhere. I’ve found so many guitar parts from echo. It’s limitless Picture Quote #1

My brother, who’s ten years younger than me, worked with me in the studio when he was very young. He’s a guitar player and does programming as well. To have the working and personal relationship coincide has been very natural Picture Quote #1

There was a guitar that my uncle owned and never learnt to play. He sold it to my dad, and when I heard ‘Layla’, that was the tune that really grabbed me. I said to my dad, ‘Wait, there’s a guitar, right?’ Picture Quote #1

In the early eighties, there were a lot of artists involved with the music scene. All those young artists, before their careers took off, were into music. Robert Longo used to play some guitar. He had a band for a while. Basquiat had a band. I mean, people were always trying to mix music and art - in fact, I’m guilty of it myself Picture Quote #1

My mum was very good at making me take up musical instruments, so although there was no popular music she made me learn the recorder when I was three, the violin when I was five and the piano when I was seven. I took up the guitar myself when I was 14 Picture Quote #1

Somewhere along the line, a concert became a variety show. It was no longer enough for four dudes to play together in front of some guitar amps. Costume changes, an army of dancers, and Broadway theatrics suddenly became standard for a ‘concert.’ Picture Quote #1

When I was 17 I got a guitar for my birthday and started discovering Bob Dylan and James Taylor and the whole 60s thing, and that made me want to make songs, to go beyond just playing an instrument. I needed to write I guess Picture Quote #1

If I learned to play guitar it was so that I would have something to sing to, if I learned to write a song it was so that I would have something to sing. So the gut feeling you’re talking about comes from singing and communicating the lyrics and what it is that we feel Picture Quote #1

I have no fear of death, so I don’t think about it. I love the adrenalin kick that danger brings. Others get their kicks bungee jumping from tall buildings. I’m very, very competitive. I want to be the best at everything I do. It’s not driving - it’s everything - it might be playing my guitar, I try to be the best at it as I possibly can Picture Quote #1

I enjoy the song writing process more than anything. It’s what I like the most, just sitting in my room with guitar or at the piano or something. Just making something up, something that’s not there, that suddenly is there Picture Quote #1

1962 to 1965, where suddenly the guitar became this icon of youth culture all over the world, thanks mostly to the Beatles. Add to that, that I saw A Hard Day’s Night 12 or 13 times, and that the guitar was the one instrument that my parents absolutely refused to let in the house. So you add it up and see that irresistible forces led me to the guitar Picture Quote #1
