When I sit down and play the guitar, Im 20 years old again, ~ J.J. Cale
Chucking Guitar quotes by J.J. Cale
Like Paul Kraston said, all I ask in life is a water bed, a TV and a typewriter. Well, I'll just have an ordinary bed, a TV and a guitar. ~ John Lennon
Chucking Guitar quotes by John Lennon
He was rowed down from the north in a leather skiff manned by a crew of trolls. His fur cape was caked with candle wax, his brow stained blue by wine - though the latter was seldom noticed due to the fox mask he wore at-all times. A quill in his teeth, a solitary teardrop a-squirm in his palm, he was the young poet prince of Montreal, handsome, immaculate, searching for sturdier doors to nail his poignant verses on.
In Manhattan, grit drifted into his ink bottle. In Vienna, his spice box exploded. On the Greek island of Hydra, Orpheus came to him at dawn astride a transparent donkey and restrung his cheap guitar. From that moment on, he shamelessly and willingly exposed himself to the contagion of music. To the secretly religious curiosity of the traveler was added the openly foolhardy dignity of the troubadour. By the time he returned to America, songs were working in him like bees in an attic. Connoisseurs developed cravings for his nocturnal honey, despite the fact that hearts were occasionally stung.

Now, thirty years later, as society staggers towards the millennium - nailing and screeching at the while, like an orangutan with a steak knife in its side - Leonard Cohen, his vision, his gift, his perseverance, are finally getting their due. It may be because he speaks to this wounded zeitgeist with particular eloquence and accuracy, it may be merely cultural time-lag, another example of the slow-to-catch-on many opening their ears belatedly to what the fe ~ Tom Robbins
Chucking Guitar quotes by Tom Robbins
As a songwriter, you tend to develop your own style, your own technique, based around what it is you're trying to write and perform, in terms of your own music. So a way of evolving a guitar style as a songwriter is much easier, I think, than developing a true style of your own just from listening to music or playing other people's music. ~ Ian Anderson
Chucking Guitar quotes by Ian Anderson
I took guitar a while back, and my heart wasn't in it at the time, but I'm ready to try it again. I sing in the car, at home - it's a huge part of my life, especially since I'm from Tennessee. ~ Lucy Hale
Chucking Guitar quotes by Lucy Hale
I practice all the scales. Everyone should know lots of scales. Actually, I feel there are only scales. What is a chord, if not the notes of a scale hooked together? ~ John McLaughlin
Chucking Guitar quotes by John McLaughlin
My dad gave $3 and a chicken for the first guitar I had. ~ Carl Perkins
Chucking Guitar quotes by Carl Perkins
I was staying with my sister and messing around with the guitar every day for my own amusement. Then she took me around and introduced me to Muddy Waters, Jimmy Rogers, Little Walter, and the first time I saw that onstage, it inspired me to play. I thought that was the world. ~ Otis Rush
Chucking Guitar quotes by Otis Rush
You okay, Bobert?"

He says pretty much what I expect: "I don't know how I'm going to pair Ramón. He'll drown Lisa."

Robert's pianist, a man named Luther, is pretty wonderful. "Can Luther carry the solos?"

"On piano?"

I shrug. "Just spitballing here."

He appears to consider it, and then shakes his head. "The songs don't lend themselves to keys. The strings have a richness, a vibrancy that the piano can't mimic. It needs to stir something inside you. Luther is amazing, but we need a musician who demands your attention. Who makes you feel."

The idea seems to heat my blood, and I straighten. "Wait. Wait." Robert looks up, confused. I hold up my hand. "An idea is forming in my brain."

His expression clears in understanding. "No, Buttercup."

"He's exactly what you're describing," I insist. "You've never heard him, but trust me - he is."

"He plays guitar. Honey, I know you're enamored, but - "

"It's not that, I swear. And he's not just some busker hanging out on the street. He's gifted, Robert. Listening to him play is like watching Luis onstage. I feel the notes. I know I'm not . . ." I search for words, flushing. Trying to tell Robert how to do his job is dangerous; he may be my uncle, but he's been a brilliant musician for much longer. "I'm not a trained musician like you are," I say carefully, "but I feel like classical guitar might work here. It's gentle ~ Christina Lauren
Chucking Guitar quotes by Christina Lauren
Everything I did is because I wanted to do it. If I weren't playing this arena, if I were playing a club, I'd still be doing it because that's what I want to do. I love playing the guitar. ~ Eddie Van Halen
Chucking Guitar quotes by Eddie Van Halen
I loved rock and roll when that came in, Bill Haley, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, all those great records. So I begged my mom and dad for a guitar, which eventually they did get me for Christmas, but it went out of tune very quickly, and it hurt my fingers. ~ Ian McLagan
Chucking Guitar quotes by Ian McLagan
With Pearl Jam, everybody is so good at what they do, it's hard to get up the courage to say, Can I sing this part, or, I want to play guitar. I feel like I have more courage to do that. ~ Jeff Ament
Chucking Guitar quotes by Jeff Ament
First love yourself.. the real inner-self.. then only you'll be able to love the world.. the lives.. the souls. ~ Vikrmn
Chucking Guitar quotes by Vikrmn
There are some superficial things that connect me to the stream. There's instrumentation, there's timbre, use of electronics, the way that samples are used, the way the electric guitar is used. I'm thinking of things that are particular to this era. But I don't always feel particularly close to the music of my peers. I often feel that I have more in common with writers and visual artists. I try to connect to people in an emotional kind of way. ~ Missy Mazzoli
Chucking Guitar quotes by Missy Mazzoli
Now any person who plays an acoustic guitar standing up on stage with a microphone is a folk singer. Some grandmother with a baby in her arms singing a 500-year-old song, well, she's not a folk singer, she's not on stage with a guitar and a microphone. No, she's just an old grandmother singing an old song. The term "folk singer" has gotten warped. ~ Pete Seeger
Chucking Guitar quotes by Pete Seeger
I make my guitar scream with pain or pleasure or sensuality. It makes people move their feet and shake their bodies. That's what music does. ~ Dick Dale
Chucking Guitar quotes by Dick Dale
Jerry [Garcia] held his guitar and picked some random licks. I spoke from an LSD haze.

'LSD changes perception. Music transcends the musician. You are the vehicle for communication.'

Garcia stopped and stared at me.

'I practice,' Garcia declared. 'Anyone can do that.'

That shut me up and he returned to the guitar ~ Rhoney Gissen Stanley
Chucking Guitar quotes by Rhoney Gissen Stanley
Sometimes I did feel like I came from a different tribe. I was not like my outgoing, ironic dad or my tough-chick mom. And as if to seal the deal, instead of learning to play electric guitar, I'd gone and chosen the cello. ~ Gayle Forman
Chucking Guitar quotes by Gayle Forman
The time I burned my guitar it was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love. I love my guitar. ~ Jimi Hendrix
Chucking Guitar quotes by Jimi Hendrix
Performance and music are inexorably tied together. And hell, I'll watch Brittany's Toxic music video all day. But there's a difference between that and listening to Leo Kottke play guitar. One is entertainment. The other is Music. ~ Patrick Rothfuss
Chucking Guitar quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
I went to see John Mayall at the Marquee, with Peter Green on guitar, and that was a particularly good gig. ~ Alvin Lee
Chucking Guitar quotes by Alvin Lee
Picture a guy; he's been surfing all day, the sun's going down, and he grabs his guitar which he then carries to his favourite place where the waves crash against the rocks. And he just sits there, watching the sunset and composing songs with his guitar.

Now, how 'off tha rip' is a surfer / musician like this? ~ Karl Wiggins
Chucking Guitar quotes by Karl Wiggins
I first heard the banjo on the Beverly Hillbillies, and from then on I was banjo-conscious. But I didn't actually get one until my grandfather gave me one, almost by mistake. He knew I was playing a little bit of guitar. He saw a banjo at a flea market and bought it. I took it home with me and just never put it down. I was fifteen. ~ Bela Fleck
Chucking Guitar quotes by Bela Fleck
I was this little blond girl with a guitar case bigger than me - it was pink and sparkly at the time. But I always took myself seriously, and I think that people took that seriously. I would tell them about my goal list, and they listened. I was like, 'I want to be the one that swings the pendulum.' ~ Kelsea Ballerini
Chucking Guitar quotes by Kelsea Ballerini
For me it always comes down to what is a good song and I'm very old fashioned in the way that I like to make songs that have something classic about them whether you can play them with an orchestra or an electro synthesizer or an acoustic guitar. ~ Marc Almond
Chucking Guitar quotes by Marc Almond
Every guitar I own gets used and has its purpose. ~ Mark Knopfler
Chucking Guitar quotes by Mark Knopfler
Garcia had traded his Sears electric guitar for an acoustic model shortly after arriving in Palo Alto, and late that spring Barbara bought him a better guitar, and shortly after that, a lovely sounding Stella twelve-string. ~ Blair Jackson
Chucking Guitar quotes by Blair Jackson
It was 1988, I believe, that I met Grit. We were both appearing in a Canadian Folk Festival and as we sat backstage he handed me his guitar. I played it, loved it, and then found out that he'd made it himself. ~ Tom Chapin
Chucking Guitar quotes by Tom Chapin
Describing certain sounds, there's a common language that guitar players have. ~ Joe Perry
Chucking Guitar quotes by Joe Perry
I tried when I was 13, when my grandparents gave me an acoustic guitar, and I tried for a year. It hurt so much to play. I mean, the fingertips hurt so much, I gave up. ~ Eric Clapton
Chucking Guitar quotes by Eric Clapton
When you heard Jimi Hendrix, you knew it was Jimi Hendrix. He introduced himself with his instrument. His attack to a guitar man, was, oh, something else! You think of one of the great American ball players, or one of the great fighters of the world, you know, that's the way he would attack any note on his guitar. ~ B.B. King
Chucking Guitar quotes by B.B. King
I truly believe Brad is from another planet – not sure where, but he is otherworldly gifted. His dexterity, fluidity, and precision are extraordinary – and in addition to these shaving techniques, he's also not a bad guitar player. Just for the record, Brad has never actually asked me to start a band, and frankly that hurts! ~ Keith Urban
Chucking Guitar quotes by Keith Urban
I don't sing. I played guitar for a while. I'm not great, I'm not Lenny Kravitz by any means, but I do like to strum. ~ Liam Hemsworth
Chucking Guitar quotes by Liam Hemsworth
Today is tomorrow of yesterday.. a better day.. to start with. ~ Vikrmn
Chucking Guitar quotes by Vikrmn
Guitar is great for a certain thing, but a piano is so much more expansive. ~ Mick Ralphs
Chucking Guitar quotes by Mick Ralphs
(I was) my own teacher and pupil, and thanks to the efforts of both, they were not discontented with each other. ~ Andres Segovia
Chucking Guitar quotes by Andres Segovia
His guitar bore his longing up into the darkness like sparks, a music profound in its objectless desire, beautiful beyond solace or solution ~ Janet Fitch
Chucking Guitar quotes by Janet Fitch
I put the guitar back in the case. I can't even look at it anymore. Instead, I want to make brownies. I want an end result there's a recipe for. I want to combine eggs and water and oil and chocolate and flour and sugar and vanilla and get something fulfilling. ~ Deb Caletti
Chucking Guitar quotes by Deb Caletti
