My daddy had seen a lot of people who played guitars and stuff and didn`t work, so he said, `You should make up your mind either about being an electrician or playing a guitar, and I never saw a guitar player that was worth a damn.`
Elvis Presley
Years from now, after I`m gone, someone will listen to what I`ve done and know I was here. They may not know or care who I was, but they`ll hear my guitars speaking for me.
Chet Atkins
Why did they keep changing guitars and amplifiers when they were perfect? They did the same things with cars, if you ask me. They forgot how to make them right, because they focused on style and bells and whistles.
Buddy Guy
What we were trying to do is make a really positive album with lots of different elements from different decades and do lots of different things. We were really trying to bring back the melody, bring back the harmony and lots of loud guitars and bring bac...

We`ve got horse property and there`s other stuff to do. Like, four wheel driving, we barbeque, drink beers, sit around and play guitars and have a merry `ol time.
Lita Ford
We thought if we could go in there and play a song, a nice song, and sing it and play some guitars, and it had that kind of impact, then what would it be like if we really put our heads together and took our songs that we`d worked on over the years and pu...
Arnaz Battle
This band - because this is myself on electric and acoustic guitars - we`ve done three tours together now and I really, really like it which is why I did the DVD as well.
Joan Armatrading
There`s loud guitars, there`s harmony, but even more importantly, this is a really positive album. I don`t think we`re afraid to put a really happy album out there. It`s a party in a package.
Ben Romans
There`s a real organic quality to it. It comes right down to the fundamentals of wood and steel. A lot of acoustic guitars, mandolins, banjos, fiddles and steel strings. You`re not going to see a lot of drums. You`re not going to see huge PA systems.
Jeff Black
Punk rock seems like my childhood, the glorious, very exciting naivete of rock n` roll. Stenguns and guitars seem very idealistic when you`re twenty.
Tony James
On this album, we took the opportunity to show people that hey, we like to make real music. We`re not just plugging in our guitars and singing the catchiest melody to sell records.
Ryan Key
Oh yeah, I mean, it wasn`t a very good guitar, most good guitars have got thrust rods in the necks that you can adjust or that`ll keep them in shape, you know keep them straight. This one just, well it turned into a bow and arrow after a couple of months.
Eric Clapton
Nirvana was pop. You can have distorted guitars and people say it`s alternative, but you can`t break out of pop music`s constructs and still get extensive radio play and media coverage.
Kristin Hersh
My older sister encouraged me from early on and bought me one of the first guitars I had. She listened to all of the crappy songs that I wrote when I was 8 years old and encouraged me to keep doing it.
Tracy Chapman
Martin guitars have now brought out, you know, on a more traditional level, the Stephen Stills` model of Martin guitars. It`s beautiful. I just went inside. I bought one immediately.

I`ve always been into guitars... we want to put keyboards on, but keyboard players don`t look cool onstage, they just keep their heads down. There has never been a cool keyboard player, apart from Elton John.
Noel Gallagher
I`m seeing and hearing lots of B to B instruments, and everybody isn`t, you know, using them... a lot of these guys are trying to do it on conventional guitars, although that has its own sound, and maybe its okay.
John Sebastian
