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.

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.

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

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

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

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