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

A man without patience is a lamp without oil.

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.

Among God's creatures two, the dog and the guitar, have taken all the sizes and all the shapes, in order not to be separated from the man.

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.

When I began, the guitar was en-closed in a vicious circle. There were no composers writing for the guitar, be-cause there were no virtuoso guitarists.

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