thinking rocks guitar
Rock guitarists usually do not wish to think trains of thought about anything but their own guitar playing during a long solo, and I could not play this way if I were not able to divide my attention between my ever changing musical environment and my instrument itself.
player guitar years
And this whole period of time of gradually working at being a better guitar player and songwriter have gradually led me to the point where I feel I'm doing a clearer representation of the thing that I've been feeling inside me since I was four years old.
color guitar goes-on
For me, theory has always opened things up to where I can walk into a room and just by hearing something I know exactly where to go on the guitar. I have a better time playing because I have a variety of colors to bring to the table.
guitar hands space
Pot put me in a position where I could walk far away from my playing and hear it in the second person. It helped me step away from myself. I stopped seeing the guitar as a thing I'm holding in my hands and started seeing it as a thing that's at one with outer space and nothingness.
player guitar guitar-player
Anybody who's a guitar player that's spent that time with another guitar player, there's nothing better than that.
guitar world littles
Any guitar solo should reflect the music that it's soloing over and not just be existing in its own sort of little world.
writing guitar play
I write lyrics. I play the guitar. If the rest of the band had to do my schedule, they would be dead
spiritual guitar intellectual
When the intellectual part of guitar playing overrides the spiritual, you don't get to extreme heights.
american-musician everybody gonna
You just never know when somebody's gonna die. It could happen at any moment so you've got to really treat everybody that way. Just really let everybody know how you feel about them.
thinking play feelings
I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.
real thankfulness energy
I would say a lot of the emotion in what I do is a sort of a thankfulness for those energies being around, because there's been points in my life when they weren't around, and it's a real sort of miserable existence.
body your-body knows
You don't throw your life away Going Inside You get to know who's watching you And besides you resides in your body
music trying spirit
I try to put the same spirit into that that I put into any other music endeavor I'm involved in.
moving causes sometimes
The curtains were made for moving Cause you know sometimes you're not always there
