Acoustics Quotes (page 3)

Any effects created before 1975 were done with either tape or echo chambers or some kind of acoustic treatment. No magic black boxes! Alan Parsons
The classical guitar has a dynamic to it unlike a regular acoustic guitar or an electric guitar. You know, there's times when you should play and there's times when you gotta hold back. It's an extremely dynamic instrument. Steve Vai
There were bars that began to have acoustic musicians play, it was 1970: Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, America, The Eagles, all that kind of stuff was popular. It was very easy for me to just kind of move in and be noticed. Shawn Colvin
In certain ways I still feel like I'm finding my way. I feel pretty comfortable playing acoustic guitar and singing, but then I feel pretty good sitting on a reggae groove as well. Colin Hay
When you stand up acoustic in front of an audience, you really are a man without any clothes on. And that can be fun - it depends how much of an exhibitionist you are, I suppose. I quite enjoy it. Richard Thompson
Richard Thompson quote: "Amplifying acoustic instruments more than a little is really..."
Amplifying acoustic instruments more than a little is really cheating, and everything becomes a compromise. Richard Thompson
Richard Thompson quote: "To stand up on a stage alone with an acoustic guitar requires..."
To stand up on a stage alone with an acoustic guitar requires bravery bordering on heroism. Bordering on insanity. Richard Thompson
But the reality is when you write a song, you should be able to strip away all the instruments and just have a song right there with an acoustic guitar and a voice, and the song should be good. Dweezil Zappa
I consider the guitar a tool for the most part. I do pick up the acoustic now and then, I certainly don't have any routine. Usually the only time I practice is when the band gets together. Hendrix has always been one of my favorite players, but I was a sucker for Nugent in the late 1970's. Ian MacKaye
There are limits to how much sound a cello can make. That's part of the framing of acoustical instruments. Finding what those limits might be, and then trying to suggest perhaps even the illusion of going beyond is part of that kind of effort. Yo-Yo Ma
Elliott Smith quote: "If you play acoustic guitar you're the depressed, sensitive guy."
If you play acoustic guitar you're the depressed, sensitive guy. Elliott Smith
Up till now I wrote the songs on my acoustic guitar alone with the Lord. Then I would take the song and share it with my family and then we all would figure out instrumentation together. Daniel Smith
I'm making a record that's half stripped down acoustic which is the way I perform a lot and half of it is very produced. It's really hard to keep music simple but I was trying to keep it simple and focus on one or two instruments and vocals. Lisa Loeb
I was down with Lucinda Williams and Mary Chapin-Carpenter. We did an acoustic tour, just the three of us, three chicks and three guitars. Rosanne Cash
It may not be the most popular but there is a place for it. I think about the kind of music I love, acoustic, melodic, and I guess it kind of took a bit of courage on my part to think I could be one of those songwriters. Helen Slater
