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

It is not so hard to be original, what is hard, is to be original with continuity.

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 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.

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

I've had three wives and three guitars. I still play the guitars.
