Guitar Quotes

I’m pretty basic as far as technique is concerned. I don’t use many gadgets, and I like the sound my guitar makes, anyway Picture Quote #1

To paint one must forget everything else. Where you live, who you know, what you eat, when to sleep. The landscape of the canvas becomes your only reality. The planet you inhabit is a single plane of infinite dimensions, stretched like a guitar string, and standing before you like a concubine waiting for your command Picture Quote #1

When I got my first guitar my fingers wouldn’t go to the sixth string so I took off the big E and played with just five strings. I was only 6 or 7 Picture Quote #1

All gut strings. That’s just the first kind of guitar I played, it was a nylon string guitar. And to me, it’s the purest form of guitar making, and I just enjoy doing it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I always use the same guitar; I got this guitar years and years ago for nine pounds. It’s still got the same strings on it Picture Quote #1

I started playing the guitar when I was 14. I’m not superstitious about guitars, but I do need strings to be old because that’s part of my sound, and I don’t like steel strings Picture Quote #1

I learned everything by ear and played all the different instruments. So then I was able to find a guitar. That was, like, in the seventh grade. And then I didn’t know how to put my fingers on all the different strings, so I had to figure out how to do it upside down and backwards, and I still play that way today Picture Quote #1

Some prisons don’t allow guitar because the strings can be detached and used as weapons Picture Quote #1

We had a music teacher in sixth grade, and I saw her tune her guitar. I said, ‘Whoa. There’s a certain way to do this.’ I bought a packet of strings - some of mine were broken - and had her tune it for me. For a while, I just kept it like that. But I got the Internet finally, when I was 14, and started learning Picture Quote #1

I have undeniable evidence that many have awakened as a result of my raising hell. Raising hell is SO American rock-and-roll. And of course even soulless wimps love killer music and my incredible guitar tone Picture Quote #1

The first time I learned how to play, my guitar was out of tune. I didn’t know it; I just started writing songs Picture Quote #1

My favorite thing about guitar, and the thing that always drew me to it when I was first learning to play it, was those moments when you think you know what it might sound like, but you don’t, and then you hit it, and it’s a total surprise. You hear it with really fresh ears. Alternate tunings, for me, they give that back Picture Quote #1

Guitar comes more out of its limitations for me, like putting it in a weird tuning and then just go places Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t planning on being a guitar player; I was going to be a singer. And I was for a little bit in the Sex Pistols - that is, until we got John Lydon. And then I realized I wasn’t really suited as a front guy Picture Quote #1

I’m not the kind of guy who deserves to play a vintage guitar because I’m too rough on instruments Picture Quote #1

I play the guitar and the piano and have a group of guys who I play with. They’re uber talented Picture Quote #1

I notice guys playing the piano playing a part up here and a part down there, and I wandered why couldn’t I do that on the guitar? Picture Quote #1

I felt impelled to write. It felt demonic, and I wanted to improve, the way some people habitually pick up a guitar and get better at playing it and making up songs Picture Quote #1

Rock n’ roll was one thing, and then they chopped off the ‘roll’ and called it ‘rock,’ which became a sort of umbrella term for anything with a guitar in it. Like hair bands. How could we possibly believe that? It’s just gotten downright silly, to the point where now it’s sort of become like professional wrestling Picture Quote #1

My mum had this idea I was going to be this long-haired hippie playing guitar and bought me one when I was 13, but my little brother picked it up instead and was such a natural, he kept it! Io Echo is a band my brother now plays in; they’re really good Picture Quote #1

If you play the guitar, you’ve got to hold the chords down with one hand while you play with the other, so you’re limited to one hand. But the piano is the king of instruments because you have your 10 fingers, which become the 10 members of the orchestra Picture Quote #1

Kurt [Cobain], from the moment he could hold a paintbrush in his hand, was painting. And from the moment he could hold a guitar, he was playing Picture Quote #1

I started playing guitar at, like, 12 or 13 and just rock bands mostly. I had a punk rock band and hard core bands and all that Picture Quote #1

It was fun playing a horrible, snotty kid in ‘Harry Potter’, and then playing Prince Charming where I was also singing and playing guitar, and then playing a completely different character Picture Quote #1

Some bands today have the experience of really working together and honing their craft. And other bands are very much like, ‘I just got a guitar for Christmas, let’s start a band.’ And you can hear the difference Picture Quote #1

I have way too many hobbies. I play guitar, and my buddies and I record music in a studio in my house. I have a couple of vintage Jeeps I’m always working on, fixing up. And I ride horses - I grew up on a horse ranch - and play basketball. I need to cut back on my hobbies so I can work more Picture Quote #1

I’m stoked because no one’s really even seen Bo yet. It took me half the season to get used to not having a guitar wrapped around my neck. So I’m anxious for the fans to see what Bo’s really about Picture Quote #1

People have used my songs and guitar style to teach guitar for a long time Picture Quote #1

I never actually had a guitar lesson. I taught myself the guitar from piano exercise books, which led me to have a pretty good technique on the guitar and allowed me to find different ways to do things Picture Quote #1
