Every guitarist has a special quality of sound. The best ones will use a good ear, much sensitivity and a thorough knowledge of music to prepare the nuances and colors of sound.

The guitar is a small orchestra. It is polyphonic. Every string is a different color, a different voice.

It is impossible to feign mastery of an instrument, however skillful the impostor may be.

I belong to the scarce minority of artists who work in good faith, around whom the phenomenal world vanishes, as it happens to the mystics when they give themselves to prayer.

(I was) my own teacher and pupil, and thanks to the efforts of both, they were not discontented with each other.
