I approach playing acoustic guitar more of as a percussive instrument. It's fragile. I don't have a lot of finesse when it comes to my guitar playing.
- Billie Joe Armstrong
When I finally put my guitar in the case the last time, I want to be remembered just as a singer, not as a country singer or pops singer - just a singer.
- Eddy Arnold
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
In fact, Russell Crowe once phoned me up to see if I wanted to go to a party but I had to bring my guitar and perform 'Oh Jean.'
- Billy Boyd
When I'm having a bad day, I pick up my guitar.
- Michelle Branch
And then I got into sports and gave my guitar to my brother Jeff who was just a little kid at that time.
- Beau Bridges
We didn't have any instruments, so I had to use my guitar.
- Maybelle Carter
Everything in the world's got a voice; most people don't hear hard enough is all. Sunrise sounds like slow chords dripping from my guitar this morning. Sad chords, in B-flat.
- Cath Crowley
I have written some songs, but I would really call what I've done poetry at the end of the day, because I'll sit with my guitar for hours and hours on end for, like, a week and then I won't touch it for a month. I also just have no confidence. And you know what? I don't have time, because I'd rather be doing other things, like knitting.
- Amanda Seyfried
I've actually had a melody on my guitar since the day I learned how to play it, back when I was 7. And for some reason I can't add lyrics to it.
- Miley Cyrus
I've got holes in my guitar.
- Dick Dale
For me, something will come in my head and I'll either end up calling my cell phone to record it, or I'll just pick my guitar up and see what comes out. Sometimes it sucks, sometimes it doesn't. So there's really no set method behind it.
- Chris Daughtry
I've got my girl and my guitar, and for me that's enough.
- Tiffanie Debartolo
My guitar is really tempermental. I don't give up on it though, I'm close to my guitar!
- Iris Dement
My guitar only has five strings 'cause the top one broke and I decided not to put it back on: when I play chords I only play bar chords, and the top one always used to cut me there.
- Brian Eno
My guitar was a loyal person to me.
- Dave Mustaine
I guess because I had such a horrible life growing up, going from place to place not knowing what I was gonna do and ending up being homeless, there was a lot of pain and a lot of anger that was coming out through my guitar playing.
- Dave Mustaine
I'll get up there and I'll do my guitar solos in one of those space outfits.
- Ace Frehley
I just rediscovered my guitar.
- Ben Gibbard
Right now my mind is on the people who stole our instruments, and, specifically, the person with my guitar, which will no doubt end its days having Green Day songs worked out on it. A better fate was deserved - and while the reverence given to guitars annoys me, I shall miss it.
- Jonny Greenwood
I think we raised about 20,000 pounds. There was a live performance thing so we thought we'd donate the equipment for an online charity in Britain. I hated to part with my guitar, but it was for such a great cause.
- Dan Hawkins
I'm going through a divorce now. This is the second one, and like baseball, I'm not gonna get three strikes. I've been living by myself for five years and I'm very comfortable. I can play my guitar when I want to.
- Buddy Guy
My guitars are my umbilical cord. They're directly wired into my head.
- Kirk Hammett
I'd love to be an artist that's multifaceted. At the moment, I am not. But wouldn't that be cool if I was like, 'Yeah, let me pull out my guitar and play you a song.' I would adore that. I am so far not gifted in that way. But I am a very hard worker and a very determined person, so who knows?
- Anne Hathaway
The time I burned my guitar it was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love. I love my guitar.
- Jimi Hendrix
I'd like to have a beer-holder on my guitar like they have on boats.
- James Hetfield
I had done a fair bit of traveling during the holidays in my school days with my guitar and discovered that I could live on it. Admittedly, I traveled with a sleeping bag but I could always find somewhere to lay my head.
- Jeremy Irons
I never set out to write a certain kind of song, I just play my guitar and see if I catch something.
- Chris Isaak
I do music because I can just pick up my guitar and sing, and completely satisfy, instant gratification. I don't need a script, I don't people, I don't need anything, cameras, I just have myself and my guitar, or keyboard.
- Jeremy Renner
My guitar is not a thing. It is an extension of myself. It is who I am.
- Joan Jett
I won't be able to live without my guitar, my phone or my boots on tour.
- Skylar Laine
I would walk down the hall with my guitar and play for anyone that would listen. As a young kid I was really driven and I was going to make it happen no matter what.
- Teena Marie
There were times I used to go to parties when I was, you know, like 15-, 16-years-old, and I'd always bring my guitar, and all my friends would be like, sing one of the Smokey songs. And everything I sang was his music, and I could sound just like him.
- Teena Marie
I'm pretty basic as far as technique is concerned. I don't use many gadgets, and I like the sound my guitar makes, anyway.
- Brian May
My guitar was loud as hell, and I had no sympathy for anybody else.
- Brownie Mcghee
I'm like a bad musical cliche because I bring my guitar on the road and try to write songs in hotel rooms.
- Moby
The day before my 16th birthday I got my guitar.
- Stevie Nicks
Arranging is the way I put my stamp on my music as much as my guitar playing.
- Lee Ritenour
I'll sit around and play my guitar; that's how I write tunes.
- Otis Rush
People do ask, 'Are you going to embellish this stuff?' I wouldn't change any of my guitar parts.
- Joey Santiago
My sunglasses are like my guitar.
- Patti Smith
Sure I destroyed my guitar at every concert, but it was okay, because I'd always get a shiny new one the very next day.
- Patti Smith
When I was growing up, there were two things that were unpopular in my house. One was me, and the other was my guitar.
- Bruce Springsteen
One night I was standing on Third Avenue playing my guitar, when this big Irish policeman came strolling by, and stopped to listen to my singing and playing. When I was done, he politely handed me a ticket for disturbing the peace, while at the same time telling me how much he liked my voice. I wish I still had that ticket.
- Frank Stallone
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about, and she's got everything that I have to live without... He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar, the only one who's got enough of me to break my heart. He's the song in the car I keep singing; don't know why I do.
- Taylor Swift
It is the most delightful thing that ever happens to me, when I hear something coming out of my guitar and out of my mouth that wasn't there before.
- James Taylor
Every time the guys were knocked out by my guitar playing and the girls were knocked out by the type of songs I did. That set us apart from the average blues band.
- George Thorogood
While I was with Procol Harum, the only time I'd see my guitar was either when I walked onstage or in the studio.
- Robin Trower
I quit my band in New York City in 1969 and I got really angry at them. I got angry at one of my guitar players and I dove over the drum set and we got into a fight.
- Steven Tyler
It's hilarious, because my guitar has what's known as a tremolo bar or a whammy bar. And the whammy bar is probably the most alien thing on my guitar that could possibly relate to a classical guitar.
- Steve Vai
It's like that Simpsons joke - they're filming a cow in a movie and they go, 'OK, we'll tape a bunch of cats together to make a cow', and it's like, 'Why don't you just use a cow?'. For some reason that is novel - like, 'Oh, my guitar sounds like a piano and now if I can just get my piano to sound like my guitar'.
- Ian Williams
God is playing my guitar, I am with God when I play.
- Link Wray
For my 20th birthday in March, I'll buy myself a present for doing my best. A one way ticket to Tokyo. All I need is my guitar and a pack of cigarettes.
- Ai Yazawa
I broke up with Ren a year and nine months ago. Soon it will be two springs.
My 20th birthday is in march. I'm working hard to buy myself a present.
A one-way ticket to Tokyo.
I will just carry my guitar and cigarettes.
-Nana Oosaki.
- Ai Yazawa
With my guitar, I could write my own stories, my own poems, and my own destiny. No one could take away the feelings, the emotions or the truth of my notes. They could hide secrets and provoke images of words that never should be whispered. I could compose the melody of my aching heart and write into it my own happily ever after since no one seemed to think after all my suffering I deserved one. That's okay, I would make my own.
