The guitar is the easiest instrument to play and the hardest to play well.

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

A man without patience is a lamp without oil.

I've had only three wives and three guitars in my life, though I've flirted with others.

I was my own teacher and pupil, in a comradeship so firm and persevering that the most trying incidents of my life served only to strengthen the union.

The guitar is the most unpredictable and least reliable musical instrument in existence...and also the sweetest, the warmest, the most delicate, whose melancholic voice awakes in our soul exquisite reveries.

It is always about discovering what, hidden, does not lie on the paper.
