I did [picking cotton] from - until I was 18 years old, that is. Then I picked the guitar, and I've been picking it since.

Johnny Cash

I started learning my lessons in Abbot Texas, where I was born in 1933. My sister Bobbie and I were raised by our grandparents [...] We never had enough money, and Bobbie and I started working at an early age to help the family get by. That hard work included picking cotton. [...] Picking cotton is hard and painful work, and the most lasting lesson I learned in the fields was that I didn't want to spend my life picking cotton.

After months of playing air guitar to 'Free Bird', what really got me into guitar was watching a documentary about Jimi Hendrix and picking up the Woodstock soundtrack.

Kirk Hammett

My foundation is acoustic guitar, and it is finger-picking and all of that and sort of an orchestral style of playing. Lead guitar came later, more out of the necessity to do so because of expectations in a particular situation.

Lindsey Buckingham

It's like a rugby team. If you're picking for the World Cup final, you're picking experience with youth. Everything is better off having that balance and that mix. I think that, especially, goes for the monarchy as well.

Prince William

In terms of picking album titles or picking track titles, I think very carefully on all of that because that is the entrance point.

Visionist

Doing the sword fighting is like picking up a dance routine... I think dancing really helps with the picking up of it.

I have to do a better job of picking the spots where I want to attack and picking the right moment when I need to attack.

I do the protest stuff. I do country and western. I play both acoustic and electric guitar in a lot of different styles, from loud, psychedelic stuff to quiet finger-picking.
