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.

You know what I think? If I am tired now, I don't mind, because I have eternity to rest.

Lean your body forward slightly to support the guitar against your chest, for the poetry of the music should resound in your heart.

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.

Electric guitars are an abomination, whoever heard of an electric violin? An electric cello? Or for that matter an electric singer?

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