Λοιπόν κάποιες διάσημες...αμπελοφιλοσοφίες πού έχω συγκεντρώσει καί σκέφτηκα να τις μοιραστώ μαζί σας κορίτσια...Έχει πολύ τροφή γιά σκέψη και αν έχετε κάτι ανάλογο ποστάρετε...

"You'll sound like your influences for a long time but eventually you'll find your own voice." - Brian May
===========================================================
"The way to learn the language is to rip off other players. As Benny Golson told me, "We all start off sounding like other cats. And gradually, a lick here or there,we start to sound like ourselves. But it takes a long time to do so..." That'swhat he told me, and it worked for me." - Branford Marsalis

In the mid to late 80s I had entered the bigger scene the day I joined the David Lee Roth band. After Edward Van Halen had reinvented rock guitar in the 70s and 80s the focus was on virtuoso type guitar playing in a rock context. This concept had been building steadily through the early 70s with players like Hendrix, Page, Brian May, Ritchie Blackmore, etc....These were the players that compelled me to want to play the instrument as brutally yet as beautifully as I possibly could." - Steve Vai
===========================================================
Liszt said after hearing a composition: "There are many new and beautiful things in your composition. Unfortunately, the new things aren't beautiful and the beautiful things aren't new."
============================================================
"You have heard all of the nice bent notes. You have heard clean playing, accurate playing...I don't give a shit about that stuff. I want to play what's on my mind." (Frank Zappa)
"I enjoy doing anything that is theoretically impossible and making it work." (Frank Zappa)
"Some scientists believe that the universe is made of hydrogen, because they claim it's the most plentiful ingredient. I claim that the most plentiful ingredient is stupidity." (Frank Zappa)
“Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny.” – Frank Zappa
============================================================
"Just because it's Be-Bop, doesn't mean it's good. And just because it's rock, doesn't mean it's bad". - Jody Fisher
============================================================
“Listening is still the key.” – Jim Hall
============================================================
John Coltrane: "Sometimes I just don't know how to end a solo."
Miles Davis: "You just take the horn out of your mouth."
============================================================
The following quote from Vangelis has got to be the most pompous and arrogant that I've ever heard....
"I am but a channel through which music emerges from the chaos of noise"
============================================================
"They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But man, there's no boundary line to art." - Charlie Parker
==============================================================
“In my music, I’m trying to play the truth of what I am. The reason it’s difficult is because I’m changing all the time.” – Charles Mingus
==============================================================
“I say, play your own way. Don’t play what the public want — you play what you want and let the public pick up on what you doing — even if it does take them fifteen, twenty years.” - Thelonious Monk
===============================================================
You have to persist, and out of the sheer frustration of what you've been doing or haven't been doing, you just come out the other side. Of course, when you come to the other side, you find that there's an even bigger hill to climb than the last one. - Allan Holdsworth
"Forget what your fingers can do.. just try it!" Allan Holdsworth
===============================================================
My own thing is in my head. I hear sounds and if I don't get them together, nobody else will. - Jimi Hendrix
===============================================================
"Tonality is a natural force, like gravity." Paul Hindemith
================================================================
A guy who has a girl's name, wears makeup and has a wild theatrical rock and roll show? DAMN! I wish I thought of that!" - Alice Cooper on Marilyn Manson
"Zappa never adapted to American culture or wavered from his complex music. You'd think his stuff was all improvised, but his sheet music included every little squeak, bump, howl, and yodel that was played. Unbelievable. Zappa was also the best guitar player I've ever seen. I saw him play one night at a club with Hendrix. Frank got up and did an imitation of him. I'm looking at Hendrix and his mouth was open." - Alice Cooper
==============================================================
A good composer does not imitate; he steals. Igor Stravinsky
===============================================================
"I've found you've got to look back at the old things and see them in a new light."
— John Coltrane, 1960, Down Beat magazine
===============================================================
"Listening to as many guitar solos as possible is the best method for someone in the early stages. But saxophone solos can be helpful. They're interesting because they are all single notes, and therefore can be repeated on the guitar. If you can copy a sax solo you're playing very well, because the average saxophonist can play much better than the average guitarist." - Ritchie Blackmore
"... Jeff Beck is my idol .. sometimes he finds notes that I just do not have on my guitar. Frank Zappa's another one .. I loved Frank Zappa ... I do think Van Halen reinvented the guitar ... he's an excellent musician, a shrewd guitarist and as a person he's wonderful..." - Ritchie Blackmore
===============================================================
"I was so used to doing old blues licks with the first three fingers. When I started using my pinky and finding more spread things, that's when I started getting my own style." - Eddie Van Halen
"You've only got 12 notes and however you mix them up is your thing." - Eddie Van Halen
In April 1996, in an interview with Guitar World, when asked about how he went from playing his first open A chord to playing "Eruption", Eddie Van Halen replied:
“Practice. I used to sit on the edge of my bed with a six-pack of Schlitz Malt talls. My brother would go out at 7pm to party and get laid, and when he'd come back at 3am, I would still be sitting in the same place, playing guitar. I did that for years — I still do that" Eddie Van Halen
I think I got the idea of tapping watching Jimmy Page do his "Heartbreaker" solo back in 1971. He was doing a pull-off to an open string, and I thought wait a minute, open string ... pull off. I can do that, but what if I use my finger as the nut and move it around ?" ... I just kind of took it and ran with it - Eddie Van Halen
===============================================================
John Scofield, Bill Frisell and I grew up listening to Jeff Beck. His phrasing and articulation are part of contemporary jazz guitar. There's also a lot more string bending going on in jazz now, and that's very much because of Jeff Beck. He's a classic. - Mike Stern
===============================================================
“You’re born with a spark…to search for the truth, for the best you can be. Practice. Discipline. Preparation. Try and try again. Then one day you’re on the top and they say you’re an “overnight success”, a “natural”. You smile, you know…”-Anonymous.
================================================================
"Improvisation is the only artform in which the same note can be played night after night but differently each time. It is the hidden things, the subconscious that lets you know you feel this, you play this." - Ornette Coleman
===============================================================
"Any darn fool can play the violin, only a musician can play the guitar."-Paganini
===============================================================
"Most of us go to our graves with our music still inside of us." –unknown
===============================================================
"...regardless of what you play, the biggest thing is keeping the feel going ..." - Wes Montgomery
===============================================================
Guitarists should be able to pick up the guitar and play music on it for an hour, without a rhythm section or anything." - Joe Pass
"If you hit a wrong note, then make it right by what you play afterwards." - Joe Pass
===============================================================
"... I don't want you to play me a riff that's going to impress Joe Satriani; give me a riff that makes a kid want to go out and buy a guitar and learn to play ..." - Ozzy Osbourne
================================================================
"There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself..." -Johann Sebastian Bach
===============================================================
"Without music, life would be a mistake." -Friedrich Nietzsche
===============================================================
"... As far as being a 'player's player', you've only got to go to Nashville or Argentina, and you can forget about it. The world is full of amazing guitar players, and you know it, and I know it ... it's a humbling experience..." - Mark Knopfler
=============================================================
"...some musicians, man, you hear the note almost before they hit it. Jimi, Coltrane and Charlie Parker were like that... " Carlos Santana
