I'm a self-taught guitarist, but I have a classical music background.
I thought Eric Clapton was good. He still is. Not only is he good - he's rock's #1 guitarist, and he plays blues better than most of us
Musical acts that feign enthusiasm for what they're doing the guitarist who jumps up and down, like it's choreographed are so transparently vacuous.
I really wasn't needed. . . Just straightening up riffs, that's all. Just two guitarists doing it instead of one.
I'm just a guitarist in a kick-ass rock and roll band. What more could I ask for?
When I went over to the States to promote Outrider, everyone was telling me I was a blues guitarist. I'm not a bloody blues guitarist. I'm a guitarist.
I think guitarists are really over-admired and over-revered.
It's part of our nature. As much as I love (brother and guitarist Eddie), if you put us in a room with no one else for 15 minutes, we'd be at each other's throats.
I don't see myself as such an important guitarist.
Jimi Hendrix was the most exciting guitarist I've ever heard.
Being a human being without forgiveness is like being a guitarist without fingers or being the diva without a tongue.
Eric Clapton is my dream guitarist.
Giuseppe Continenza is a monster guitarist
I trained as a classical guitarist but that was it.
I set myself up to be a bass guitarist and bass players get a lot more work than people like me.
As a guitarist and a lot of the times as a singer, I don't feel that comfortable and you really feel that when there's not an electric guitar or a nice beat to back it up. But, I enjoy challenges as a rule. I have always felt that what doesn't kill you, will make you stronger. I have learned to love with the rawness a little bit more and I know what I need to work on a little bit more as the tour goes on.
Tony McManus is the best Celtic guitarist in the world.
Who I am as a guitarist is defined by my failure to become Jimi Hendrix.
I'm more of a strumming guitarist, instead of a lead soloist guitarist.
Once I got a guitar that was relatively user-friendly, but not super-duper easy, I really came on as a guitarist, at that point. It helped. It was a super-expensive guitar either, but something needs to steer you a bit, if you're playing an instrument that is really hard.
