How guitarists actually describe their own instrument.
These guitar quotes come straight from musicians, one describing a piano-or-guitar foundation as the backbone of an entire career, another comparing how guitar cuts through a mix differently than organ. For the emotional side of playing, see Passion quotes.

I never really trained to be a musician, but I've been playing guitar since I was around, like, 13 years old. For me, the guitar has always been the instrument that I've played. I play a little piano. I taught myself everything by ear. I don't read music at all, which has not really been a hindrance.
