The piano is a monster that screams when you touch its teeth.

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.

When I started to play with my fingernails, it was not just for volume. The most important thing was giving the guitar different colors in its voices.

A man without patience is a lamp without oil.

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.

The advice I am giving always to all my students is above all to study the music profoundly... music is like the ocean, and the instruments are little or bigger islands, very beautiful for the flowers and trees.

Sometimes one is without the pleasure of playing. But when the silence of the audience is perfect, we recover that.
