I guess trying to throw my body into the guitar is so natural for me that I don't even know how to explain it. I can't imagine life without it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's that kind of in-born music thing - I could pick up the guitar and play something. It's not something I consciously do.
When you play a guitar for a long time, you get your hand oils in there; it starts feeling good and behaving, and you just don't want to mess with that.
I feel really comfortable when it's just me and a guitar. It's special and more vulnerable to strip it down. It can be scary, but it's also empowering.
I feel like I'm just learning how to play the guitar. I mean, really learning to play the guitar.
After 40 years of not playing, I admit I'm totally in love with my guitar. It's a Froggy Bottom acoustic steel string guitar. All I have to do is hit a couple of clean chords and the endorphins are right there. It's like the top of my head has come off and stardust and magic have fallen in.
The guitar has a kind of grit and excitement possessed by nothing else.
I make my guitar scream with pain or pleasure or sensuality. It makes people move their feet and shake their bodies. That's what music does.
Guitar is just something I can do. So much of it now is muscle memory, just instinct.
I only ever really take out my guitar when I'm miserable, which isn't necessarily a very good time to do it.
I still use the guitar pretty much just to hide my gut.
