If you're driving more than 50 mph through a neighborhood where the speed limit is 25 mph, I question whether you should keep your driver's license. You're a menace to society.

Robert James Thomson

Some of us are going to play faster than others. Hitting the right notes and getting your technique right is so much more important than speed.

Joe Satriani

I practice more than ever ... mostly scales and arpeggios ... and anything I can't do.

Julian Bream

Of the 2,000,000 Armenians in Turkey in 1914, one million have been slaughtered, and the survivors only 130,000 remain in Turkey and the rest are refugees and exiles. Armenian property losses are valued at over 5,000,000,000 dollars are more than three fourths of the estimated wealth of the Armenian race.

Herbert Adams Gibbons

I think we left out one of the really important elements contributing to the dynamism of society, and that is the right to privacy. I mean something more than the right to shave in private. I mean the right to join what I want to join, to do what I want to do, or not to do what I might do without giving anyone a reason, either in advance or afterwards. That does not mean that I am seeking for irresponsibility socially.

Chester Barnard

There are no wrong notes; some are just more right than others.

Thelonious Monk

It can't be any new note. When you look at the keyboard, all the notes are there already. But if you mean a note enough, it will sound different. You got to pick the notes you really mean!

Thelonious Monk

The fastest manned vehicle in history was Apollo 10. It reached 25,000 mph.

Stephen Hawking

There are more short-term goals right now the way I see it, that I feel are more important right now than maybe the 1,000 points.

Mats Sundin

Notes are tricky in an audition, because I find, more often than not, my instinct is right.

Lance Reddick

I would rather write 10,000 notes than a single letter of the alphabet.

Ludwig van Beethoven

The criticism is that it's too simple, but my feeling is it's more of a challenge making someone feel an emotion in four notes than in 25 notes.

Kenny G

I feel guilty when people say I'm the greatest on the scene. What's good or bad doesn't matter to me; what does matter is feeling and not feeling. If only people would take more of a true view and think in terms of feelings. Your name doesn't mean a damn, it's your talents and feelings that matter. You've got to know much more than just the technicalities of notes; you've got to know what goes between the notes.

Jimi Hendrix

When I'm back at my computer, and/or have more time to deal with the project than when I made the initial notes, I transcribe them into a Scrivener document. I create a new Scrivener file for every project, right at the start, and make a folder for these transcribed notes; when entering them, I title each note document according to date.
