Text Quotes
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.  (Guitar Quotes) Touring with Brian May was like a dream come true that happened early in my career. He inspired me with the way he harmonized and layered his guitar sounds.  (Guitar Quotes) My dream is to one day just be me and my guitar. I’m working myself to the core. Who am I, underneath everything else? I’m still on that journey, to find that core.  (Guitar Quotes) I trained for the drums for about two weeks, and then rocking out in front of an entire crowd was sort of like a dream come true. And now, Guitar Hero, I can’t do that anymore. It’s nothing like doing it on stage. I kinda wish I had a fake band, and we could go on tour.  (Guitar Quotes) I know I love her, because when I see her my heart beats like a drum. If she played guitar and sang, we could start a band.  (Guitar Quotes) People don’t understand what music really is. I’ve been a musician since I was 6 years old. I got my first piano, was playing recitals at 8, 10 I picked up a guitar, 12 I picked up my first Pearl Master drum set. I was an artist before I was an ‘artist.’  (Guitar Quotes) 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.  (Guitar Quotes) I played music and sang from my earliest memories. The first pictures of me show me wandering around with a guitar that was larger than I was, and it became almost second nature to me.  (Guitar Quotes) Songwriters always reminded me of that kid at school who would go around with his guitar, like, ‘Yeah, songwritin’ man,’ looking wistful. That wasn’t me - those kinds of people put me off. In the early days, I’d write a bunch of lyrics and almost look at them as a sort of joke, to make the rest of the boys laugh.  (Guitar Quotes) After the Ed Sullivan Show, Feb. 9, 1964, at approx. 8:04pm [laughs], after that moment every album, every guitar, evey set of drums that was ever sold ... 10% should have gone right into their pocket!  (Guitar Quotes) 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.  (Guitar Quotes) 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.  (Guitar Quotes) I went to my friend’s house one day, and he had an electric guitar he had just bought with a tiny little amp. I turned the volume up to 10 and I hit one chord, and I said, I’m in love.  (Guitar Quotes) Playing an unamplified electric guitar is like strumming on a picnic table  (Guitar Quotes) 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.  (Guitar Quotes) 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.  (Guitar Quotes) 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.  (Guitar Quotes) My cousin gave me a twin-neck electric guitar for one of my birthdays. It was amazing. Even though it was mine, I was never allowed to pick it up.  (Guitar Quotes) 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.  (Guitar Quotes) 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.  (Guitar Quotes) 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.  (Guitar Quotes) 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.  (Guitar Quotes) 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.  (Guitar Quotes) 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.  (Guitar Quotes) 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.  (Guitar Quotes) Sometimes [people] seem to think I came out of the womb, you know, cursing, with an electric guitar.  (Guitar Quotes) Of course the folk guitar is the one I play very often, but I wanted a more electric sound  (Guitar Quotes) I’ve always been at war with the guitar. All vocalists are fighting a war with the electric rhythm guitar.  (Guitar Quotes) We play loud electric guitar music, and we’d hope that that doesn’t mean you have to act like an asshole.  (Guitar Quotes) The electric guitar was vital in helping what I’ve achieved where would I be without it? Playing awfully quietly, for a start.  (Guitar Quotes)
