Guitar/music quotes

[arc_of_descent]

Hey Guys,

I came across a lovely quote today and wanted to share it with you.

It is a mistake to think that the practice of my art has become easy to me. I assure you, dear friend, no one has given so much care to the study of composition as I. There is scarcely a famous master in music whose works I have not frequently and diligently studied. — Mozart

I also created a new thread so we can all share our guitar/music related quotes. Makes for good inspiration!

Cheers!

Yeah some of the classical founders have excellent quotes. This one by Bach has always been amusing to me:

"It's easy to play any musical instrument: all you have to do is touch the right key at the right time and the instrument will play itself."
- J.S. Bach

[SirDid]

Andres Segovia: Guitar is the easiest instrument in the world to learn to play badly

[Richard Lundmark]

I like this one

You can't always write a chord ugly enough to say what you want to say,
so sometimes you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream.
- Frank Zappa

Hey!

This is my favorite quote
“Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.”

I just hate to be in one corner. I hate to be put as only a guitar player, or either only as a songwriter, or only as a tap dancer. I like to move around.

“If you play music for no other reason than actually just because you love it, the skills just kinda creep up on you.” A quote by Nuno Bettencourt.
