Billie Joe Armstrong

Guitar, Playing, Approach

I have pictures of me sitting in the racquetball court in my pajamas with an acoustic guitar, and Wolfgang is probably just two-and-a-half-feet tall. I'll never forget the day I saw his foot tapping along in beat! I knew then, I couldn't wait for the day I'd be able to make music with my son. I don't know what more I could ask for.
Eddie Van Halen

Music, Forget, Guitar

Delta Goodrem

Guitar, Piano, Acoustic

Good, Before, Guitar

Graham Coxon

Before, Guitar, Lovely

I love the subtlety and tonal range of the acoustic guitar.
Dan Fogelberg

Love, Guitar, Acoustic

The early influences, in many ways, were in Baltimore. I was passing open windows where there might be a radio playing something funky. In the summertime, sometimes there'd be a man sitting on a step, playing an acoustic guitar, playing some kind of folk blues. The seed had been planted.
Jerry Leiber

Guitar, Sometimes, Playing

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

Good, Reality, Guitar

Jules Shear

Guitar, Around, Beginning

Kip Winger

Life, Hard, Play

I'm not good enough to be playin' much acoustic guitar onstage. Man, you gotta get so right; I mean, the tones, the feel, the sound. Plus, acoustic blues guitar is just that much harder on the fingers.
Johnny Winter

Good, Mean, Enough

I even played bass for a while. Besides playing electric guitar, I'd also get asked to play some acoustic stuff. But, since I didn't have an acoustic guitar at the time, I used to borrow one from a friend so I could play folk joints.
Mark Knopfler

Time, Friend, Play

At the Muddy Waters thing, I played the first song by myself on an acoustic guitar. I thought that was great that y'all did that tribute to Muddy Waters. I had a real good time.
Gregg Allman

Time, Good, Great

There was nobody at the time who was playing slide guitar like Johnny, and nobody, or no white guys at least, that was playing country blues like that on the acoustic guitar. And it was at that point that I realized what Johnny had to offer.
Rick Derringer

Marc Almond

Good, Down, Play

Going to high school in rural Florida, we always partied down in the woods. Somebody - one of the rednecks - would leave class and mow a path out to a field, and we'd drive out there. Dude, every party I went to was lit by a bonfire. Acoustic guitar.
Miles Teller

School, Down, Guitar

Dan Hicks
