For all you guitarists out there. . . Frank Zappa: "The guitar can be the single most blasphemous device on the face of the earth. That's why I like it . . . The disgusting stink of a too-loud electric guitar: now that's my idea of a good time" Robert Fripp: " Musicians deal with music, professional musicians deal with business. If our aim is to be a musician then probably better not become a professional musician. If our aim is to serve music, then this is part of the price we pay for that privilege" Jeff Beck: "I've got no particular desire to play ten-minute solos. Those were never valid anyway in my book - NEVER. It was just a cheap way of building up a tension in the audience . . . A solo should do something; it shouldn't just be there as a cosmetic. It should have some aim, take the tune somewhere. I'm not saying I can do it, but I try and take the tune somewhere" Steve Cropper: "Just follow the dots and you can't get into trouble" Ritchie Blackmore: "Saxophone solos can be helpful. They're interesting because they're all single notes, and therefore can be repeated on the guitar. If you can copy a sax solo you're playing very well, because the average saxophonist can play much better than the average guitarist" |
