Guitar Quotes

I’ve seen kids turn their lives around. It’s usually a kid who’s outside of the team-sport world, or maybe has a darker personality or doesn’t fit in. Skateboarding ends up being something they latch onto. It sounds hokey, but finding a focus on something - whether it’s skateboard or playing your guitar - can be life changing Picture Quote #1

I got my first guitar when I was 11. It was an electric, and I can remember just wanting to be Avril Lavigne! But I got annoyed with having to plug it in and play with amps and pedals and stuff. Then I got given a cheap acoustic, a Tanglewood, and I thought it was awesome because I could play it anywhere! Picture Quote #1

I guess I was a child actor. Acting was one of the things I did alongside going to school: I’d be playing guitar, I’d be playing soccer, and I would be acting in movies Picture Quote #1

I’m very lazy when it comes to making the original sound. I don’t go through amplifiers and different compressors and signal parts. I just grab something, whether its an old guitar or a children’s toy that happens to be lying around, and record it straight into the computer Picture Quote #1

I’m just not arbitrarily choosing to have five guitars play one type of thing. In that way there’s a definite similarity between a symphony orchestra and the 100 guitar symphony 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

My favorite guitar players are Chuck Berry and Brian May and Dave Davies from the Kinks Picture Quote #1

I tried to emulate my favourite guitar players, the old bluesmen like Blind Willie McTell and Big Bill Broonzy. I used to sit by the record player and copy Chuck Berry and the Beatles. You can never copy someone completely, so you end up developing your own style Picture Quote #1

There is a great book out called ‘Everything I Needed to Learn I Learned in Kindergarten,’ and I believe that everything I ever needed to learn on guitar was in my first two years of hungry learning: Scotty Moore, Hank Marvin, Chet Atkins, Lenny Breau, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley Picture Quote #1

My love of music comes from as long as I remember. I begged my mum to learn piano for a year when I was 4; she wanted to make sure I was serious, and I wanted to be Chuck Berry when I grew up! We were a very musical family; my mum would play guitar, and her, my dad and aunt would sing and harmonize! Picture Quote #1

There was a period when I’d just come out of college where I’d been playing classical guitar and I suddenly realised that it wasn’t what I wanted to do with the rest of my life Picture Quote #1

It’s hilarious, because my guitar has what’s known as a tremolo bar or a whammy bar. And the whammy bar is probably the most alien thing on my guitar that could possibly relate to a classical guitar Picture Quote #1

What’s the difference between a classical guitar and a pizza? A pizza can feed a family of four Picture Quote #1

I started getting interested in the notes that I could hear being generated when I hammered on while playing a classical guitar Picture Quote #1

I started playing heavy-metal guitar because that’s what I liked. And then I got into classical guitar because it was so technically complicated Picture Quote #1

When I was 6 I thought that I wanted to be a musician - like a singer-songwriter. That’s what I romantically envisioned for myself. But in reality the experience of getting into music was just the opposite. My parents signed me up for classical guitar lessons, which made for two years of the most depressing Wednesday evenings Picture Quote #1

I don’t play classical guitar. But I do in my mind. I’ve got it on a stand Picture Quote #1

I had learned classical guitar when I was a kid, and I embraced it, and apparently I got good at it Picture Quote #1

The more I got into playing guitar, the more I enjoyed music, and the broader my listening became. The instrument itself became important to me, and I started messing around with classical guitar and took classical lessons Picture Quote #1

I have some good books of Bach keyboard music transcribed for guitar, and there’s always a nylon-string guitar hanging on the wall in my house and a bunch of classical guitar books to grab. I kind of do that just for fun Picture Quote #1

Andres Segovia, the great name for guitar, he put classical guitar on the map. He was the proponent of it, the best in the world. So I was listening to a record that he had made, and a little bauble happened in the middle of the record. A finger slipped, and I said, ‘Wait a minute. He’s not allowed to make mistakes,’ - my mind Picture Quote #1

If we are going to list guitar influences, the biggest one by far is Wes Montgomery. Also, Gary Burton was obviously huge for me in a number of ways. But beyond that, Clifford Brown, Miles Davis and Freddie Hubbard Picture Quote #1

The only job I’d ever had that might be considered not playing music was teaching guitar, which I did in college for a while, but that still falls in the same category Picture Quote #1

Guitar players get inward and analytical about their playing but when you start to get positive feedback from other players it makes you think that it is coming together Picture Quote #1

A guitar for me is pretty much strictly in the context of writing songs for my band, coming up with ideas with my band, and then being able to perform those songs as best as I can on stage - that’s what the guitar for me has always been Picture Quote #1

It’s a complicated relationship with a guitar. I love the Bullet, for sure Picture Quote #1
