“Rock guitarists usually do not wish to think trains of thought about anything but their own guitar playing during a long solo, and I could not play this way if I were not able to divide my attention between my ever changing musical environment and my instrument itself.” IfsThinkingWayLongPlayAbleWishAttentionEnvironmentRocksInstrumentsTrainGuitarMusicalDividesSoloGuitaristGuitar PlayingTrain Of Thought Author:John Frusciante
“No joy for which thy hungering heart has panted, No hope it cherishes through waiting years, But if thou dost deserve it, shall be granted For with each passionate wish the blessing nears. Tune up the fine, strong instrument of thy being To chord with thy dear hope, and do not tire. When both in key and rhythm are agreeing, Lo! thou shalt kiss the lips of thy desire. The thing thou cravest so waits in the distance, Wrapt in the silences, unseen and dumb: Essential to thy soul and thy existence-- Live worthy of it--call, and it shall come.” IfsYearsHeartSoulJoyDesireHopeStrongWishWaitingExistenceSilenceKeysFineBlessingKissingEssentialsDeserveInstrumentsDistanceLipsDearPassionateWorthyRhythmGrantedDumbTunesCherishUnseenTireChordsNo HopeTune Up Book:Complete Poetical Works of Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Delphi Classics) Source: Complete Poetical Works of Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Delphi Classics)

Everybody else just screwed it up, and thought wailing away (on the guitar) is the answer. But it ain't; you've got to be a Jimi to do that, you've got to be one of the special cats.” HeartStillsGuyWishAnswersSpecialCatInstrumentsGuitarRuinsBlessRuinedHendrixWailing Author:Keith Richards

“I used to play trumpet when I was a kid, and then I got braces, and I couldn't really play it anymore, so sometimes I wish I could still play that; I think it's a great instrument, so maybe one of these days I'll pick it back up.” ThinkingStillsSometimesPlayKidsUsedWishPicksInstrumentsThese DaysTrumpetsBraces Author:Eric Hutchinson
