Ninety percent of all music is always crap and when too many people decide they're going to have guitar bands then ninety percent of them are going to be crap. It's just a given law.
We used to play music for fun. Much more than now. Now nobody picks up a guitar unless they're paid for it.
Lean your body forward slightly to support the guitar against your chest for the poetry of the music should resound in your heart.
If you don't know the blues... there's no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music.
I like to play guitar jam out play the blues go watch movies. I love movies.
I heard the Beatles and the Stones and Mom bought me an electric guitar. I played lead for four years and then switched to bass. One day someone suggested that I should sing so I sheepishly stepped up to the microphone and the rest is rock history.
My mom bought me a white Strat but that wasn't what I wanted so I went to a guitar store in Cleveland and - the guy told me it was a really good deal - made an even swap for a blue Teisco Del Ray. I loved that guitar and used it a bunch.
I gave guitar lessons. I tried to join bands. My mom always said it was obvious that nothing was going to stop me.
The time I burned my guitar it was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love. I love my guitar.
I'm thinking about learning a few new things - like taking classical guitar lessons - and I'd like to bring what I learn into hard rock.
I remember that at the beginning of the month the kind of menus my mom and father would prepare for us would have fish chicken. But at the end of the month - because my father would be waiting for paycheck - the refrigerator would get empty. I remember that without a lot of food left some of the best meals happened right there.
