Pete Seeger Quotes

I would get records by Earl Scruggs... I would tune my banjo down and I'd pick out the songs note by note. Learned how to play that way. I persevered. There was a book written by Pete Seeger, who showed you some basic strumming and some basic picking... And I kind of worked out my own style of playing.
Steve Martin

Book, Down, Play

John Fogerty

Great, Dance, Though

The combination of three chords and the right lyrical couplet can be as heavy as anything in the Metallica catalogue.
Tom Morello

Music, Through, Three

My musical heroes are people like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie who wrote and sang real songs for real people; for everyone, old, young, and in between.
Tom Chapin

Real, Young, Old
