Good tunes come when you’re not thinking about it Picture Quote #1

I wake up around noon, light a cigarette, get a cup of coffee, sit in the bathtub for an hour and daydream, and I usually come up with some ideas... It’s a very irresponsible life. The only decisions I make are about the notes I’m writing Picture Quote #1

I think one of the things which always is forgotten in music class, is the first thing you have to do as a musician is you have to learn how to listen Picture Quote #1

You can only make a good noise on the guitar if you’re committed. Little careful noise doesn’t work. You have to be bold Picture Quote #1

All music is based in one way or the other, or influenced through the ages, on technology Picture Quote #1

I’ve never had a real job in my life. I didn’t learn anything, I was terrible at school. It was just this thing. Music was all I wanted to do Picture Quote #1
