for those who would joyously march in rank and file, they have already earned my contempt, for they were given a large brain by accident when a spinal chord would have sufficed.
Albert Einstein
I`ve always loved the fact that there`s a really unique quality to sixties music. Everything from the chord progressions to the melodies themselves - and they still sound amazing today.
Tom Fletcher
I think there`s nothing better than seeing a three-chord straight up rock `n` roll band in your face with sweaty music and three minute good songs.
Joan Jett
Fort` is something that`s heavy and militant. `Minor` is taken one of two ways: either meaning small or meaning ... between the two basic chords in music theory, you`ve got major or minor, and minor is described as the darker, sadder chord. The album is a...

We have a set of sensible policies that are appropriate for the 21st century and which strike a chord of appeal with the silent majority. Perhaps that is why we are welcoming new members every week who have never before been involved in politics.
Andreas Renschler
The jazz chord substitutions in a country song... that was another thing that bent people`s ears. I guess that my favorites are the unique ones. It`s not how fast you play. It`s that unique blending of different stuff I`m most proud of.
Brian Setzer
The audience loved it, they responded to it very strongly in a lot of different ways. A lot of different topics that came out of the play reading struck such a chord in people, and it wasn`t always the same chord. People latched onto different aspects of ...

Talking about covers, whether visually or sonically, if a particular combination of notes struck a chord in your heart in a way that you want to be a part of it by covering that song, then there`s nothing wrong with it.
Ville Valo
Sometimes when you make a film you can go away for three months and then come back and live your life. But this struck a much deeper chord. I don`t have the ability yet to speak about it in an objective.
Keanu Reeves
So I learnt a few country western songs, I bought a chord book, and right away I started writing my own stuff, which nobody else did that, I don`t know why.
John Fahey
My love is new music, I tend to go and see a lot of bands, while [co-producer] Mark Cooper spends his time reading the press. It`s often the new acts that strike a chord, because they aren`t seen on other shows.
Jools Holland
It`s really weird to be playing chords again. Haven`t played chords for a long time. I realised I haven`t played chord changes since OK Computer and stuff like that.
Ed O`Brien
It`s like a piece of music; you never lose sight of the theme. Each scene pushes off to the next like music builds and you can almost hear the next chord progression, so it has a strict structure, which is very compelling.
David Strathairn
I`m protective of ballads, ... I stay as close to the original as I can. I like to phrase it and tell a story. I want to hear the pretty chord changes.
Jimmy Spencer
I`m definitely responsible for coming in with some basic chord changes, or ideas. Everybody in the band looks to me to come up with the basic seed, so it`s not very productive to come in with nothing.
Billy Corgan
I think there`s nothing better than seeing a three-chord straight up rock `n` roll band in your face with sweaty music and three minute good songs.
Joan Jett
I just couldn`t take school seriously: I had this guitar neck with four frets which I kept hidden under the desk. It had strings on it so I would practice my chord shapes under the desk and that`s about all I did at school.
Alvin Lee
I got bored with the old way - it came too easy. I worked until I could play and chord changes at any tempo in any key, and then said `What else is there?` Now I`m finding out.
Don Ellis
I don`t understand why Europeans and South Americans can take more sophistication. Why is it that Americans need to hear their happiness major and their tragedy minor, and as jazzy as they can handle is a seventh chord? Are they not experiencing complex e...
Joni Mitchell
I don`t need to hear Bill to go through a song. I need to hear Keith to go through a song. I know Bill will be playing what I`m playing anyway. I need to hear Keith because it`s all there: the time, the chord changes, and all the licks you have to follow.
Charlie Watts
But the chord changes are haunting, and there are moments that draw you right in, in the most intimate way. We`ll record it when we`ve performed it a few times. A piece like that needs to be out in the sunlight for a while.
David Harrington
