"Excellent performance for all it's difficulty is still easier to come by than are great, memorable songs."
Glenn Kaiser

Also by Glenn-
"Technique alone will never beat passion and I have often heard brilliant technicians accomplish far less with a hundred notes than an old African-American man blasting a two (not even three) chord song with a piece of junk acoustic or electric guitar and/or a matching trash amp... who played with emotion and artistic integrity."

"Be patient with yourself. Be patient with your skills, your ability to listen and focus. It may take a short time but it often takes years... yes years... many twists and turns in various music styles and using various guitars and guitar styles to find your own best and most heart-felt musical voice as a guitarist. Hey- what if you end up being a bass player or a brilliant drummer? So what? Enjoy the journey. The journey and discoveries you'll make is a huge part of the joy of living. Try different styles, see what fits.
Be patient with yourself and have fun!"

A couple more--

“A guitar is something you can hold and love and it’s never going to bug you. But here’s the secret about the guitar — it’s defiant. It will never let you conquer it. The more you get involved with it, the more you realize how little you know.”
Les Paul

"Because of its low cost, ease of playing, and quick learning curve, you should seriously consider whether the air guitar is the instrument for you."
Larry Sandberg

I think it was Keith Richards who said, "It doesn't matter what guitar I play i can get them all to sound the same in 5 minutes."

I know Kieth Richards said "A lot of people like to play ROCK but they forget about the ROLL."

The most accurate music quote in my opinion.
"Kiss Basically had a musical vasectomy, when I left the band."
Ace Frehely

"If it has more than three chords, its jazz" - Lou Reed

I was thinking I read a Neil Young interview once wher he said something to the effect, " Every guitar has a song in it", but can't find the reference. At my age, I often confuse history and fiction.
