More Quotes from Gaints
I’ve
compiled a few more inspiring quotes from the great guitarists that have gone
before us.
Great
quotes can influence and change out patterns of thinking,
For
instance “ listening is the key to all that is good in music” Pat
Metheny, could inspire deeper listening skills.
Another one could be “ If you play for no
other reason than actually because you love it then skills kinds just creep up
on you” Nuno Bettencourt, encourages the love of music and less
focus on striving for skills.
Hearing
quotes like these three can only encourage us to keep at it and enjoy the love
playing the guitar.
“I struggled with alternate picking for such a
long time, I never thought I could do it”
Paul Gilbert
“One day you pick up the guitar and you feel like a
great master, and the next day you feel like a fool. It’s because we’re
different every day, but the guitar is always the same…beautiful.”
Tommy Emmanuel
‘We begin
with the possible, and move gradually towards the impossible.’ –

Once I got a guitar that was relatively user-friendly,
but not super-duper easy, I really came on as a guitarist, at that point. It

you a bit, if you're playing an instrument that is really hard.
Jimmy Page
Relax, be yourself, play alot
Joe Satriani
Shut up and play yer guitar
Frank Zappa
"One night I dreamed I was running. When I woke up I
forgot I had a limp, so I walked totally normal until I remembered, 'oh, yeah,
I have a limp'. Then I immediately stumbled. That showed me that if you have
control over your mind, you can do anything."
-Jason Becker
“Remember
that we are in this together and no mans an island, learn from each other
