I'm working on guitars for free, because I love working on guitars anyway.

Yngwie Malmsteen

I love guitars, and guitars love me, but sometimes they need new homes where they can live to rock another day.

Rick Nielsen

The music defied classification. If I had been writing a review of the show, I would have labeled it progressive, guitar-driven rock ’n’ roll. But the guitars made sounds guitars didn’t always make. Symphonic sounds. Sacred sounds. The music dug in so deep you didn’t hear it so much as feel it, reminding me of a dream I used to have when I was a kid, where I would be standing on a street corner, I would jump into the air, flap my arms, and soar up into the sky. That’s the only way I could describe the music. It was the sonic equivalent of flight.

Tiffanie DeBartolo

I discovered after going to music festivals that I am a rock fan. I love the guitars, the phrasing, and the abandon of rock fans.

Beyonce Knowles

My first rock band was called Mike and the Majestics. I was about twelve, and my older sister Kathy was the manager. There were three of us: me and a friend on guitars and a drummer. We were young, but we played for a lot of fraternity parties, plugging both guitars and a microphone into one little amplifier.

Michael McDonald

If you make rock music with guitars in it, the Radiohead comparison is inevitable.

Bryce Dessner

I still believe guitars will be around as long as there's rock music.

Mike McCready

I don't touch electric guitars. It's just not my thing - I stick with acoustic guitars only.

Dave Matthews

Without question Gibson guitars are the finest, most revered guitars on the planet.

Ted Nugent

Absolutely, all guitars are different. You can go into a store and grab five guitars, all the same model, and even though they look identical they're not identical. They play differently, they feel a bit different and they sound slightly different.

John McLaughlin

Young people are still experiencing the thrill of three chords and over-amplified guitars. They always will.

Horace Panter

When I write in the studio, I tend to gravitate toward the ability to play really loud, aggressive, post-punk stuff, with big, heavy guitars and a big rock drum sound.

Tom DeLonge

The Bangles are proof that short skirts and electric guitars go hand-in-hand. They are one of the great all-girl groups, backing up their looks with a serious pop-rock pedigree.

Shawn Amos

Folk music has been our popular music... There is a myth that youngsters only like heavy metal or rock music, but that's not true.

Shankar Mahadevan

Guitars, there was rock 'n' roll. Saxophone, jazz. Now we have the computer and there's this electronic thing happening in music that is somewhat superhuman.
