“Paint pictures with sound. First, find your white-the deepest, roundest sound you can play on the guitar. Then, find your black-which is the most extreme tonal difference from white you can play. Now, just pick the note where you've got white, pick it where you've got black, and then find all those colors in between. Get those colors down, and you'll be able to express almost any emotion on the guitar.?” FirstsPlayAbleSoundBlackDifferencesWhiteEmotionMusicColorPicksDown AndNotesPaintGuitarExtremes Author:Les Paul
“For me, anything can be music! I can get huge enjoyment and be moved totally by the purity and perfection of some Renaissance polyphony, but equally I can feel emotion in the expectant hum of a big old guitar amp just before the strings are hit.” FeelsI CanBigsEmotionHugePerfectionMovedGuitarEnjoymentPurityStringsRenaissancePolyphony Author:Steven Price
“There are many excellent guitar players but I have to say Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton are still at the top! There are many imitators but very few genuine articles. There is so much more to playing than a fast blur of notes, like feeling and emotion from the soul. It's like punctuating a sentence and knowing when to lay back and not fill up all the space. Those are the things I tried to teach my son Tim when he began playing.” StillsSoulFeelingsSpaceEmotionTeachKnowingPlayerSonLaysNotesGuitarSentencesGenuineExcellentMy SonArticlesFeelings And EmotionsEricGuitar PlayerBlurHendrixImitator Author:Merrell Fankhauser
“Not that I play guitar anywhere near as well as she sings, but I think I have always had a tendency to play solos the same way, in emotional relation to the structure of the song. I choose simple lines, and only play what seems emotionally relevant, and often express that emotion in time, that is in play or resistance to the set time of the song.” ThinkingWayWellsPlaySeemsSongLinesSimpleEmotionEmotionalRelationStructureGuitarResistanceTendenciesRelevantSolo Author:Matthew Zapruder
