“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

“I always liked the steel guitar. I also love the guys that play the bottleneck. But I could never do it; I never made it do what I want. So every time I would pick up the guitar, I'd shake my hand and trill it a bit. For some strange reason my ears would say to me that sounds similar to what those guys were doing. I can't pick up the guitar now without doing it. So that's how I got into making my sound. It was nothing pretty. Just trying to please myself. I heard that sound.” WantTryingMadeI CanReasonPlayHandsGuyBitsSoundHeardStrangePleasePicksEarsGuitarMade ItShakesSteelBottlenecksTrill Author:B. B. King
“The script is like music to me. I approach it like it's a musical piece and I hear how it's supposed to sound when people say the words. There's rhythms and there's intonations and things, and so, when somebody comes in and hits the notes that I hear, I go okay. Or, they come close enough, and then I'll say "Well how about you try it like this?" and if they have a good ear and they can pick it up, then I think okay, they've got it.” PeopleIfsThinkingTryingWellsEnoughSoundPiecesApproachPicksOkayEarsNotesMusicalScriptsRhythmIntonation Author:Rob Reiner
“Too-broad questions, such as, "What's on your mind?" are apt to be answered "nothing" nearly one hundred percent of the time. Be careful of slipping into ""psycho-speak," however.
