That's it!<br />It's all you'll find here.<br /><br />Now, just as a starting point ...<br /><br />As music jumps out of the heart, and music jumps into the heart, here are a few thoughts to start with.<br /><br /><br /><br /><em><strong>QUOTES ABOUT MUSIC</strong></em><br /><br /><em>You bring sound out of your guitar; you bring music out of your soul.</em><br /><strong><span style="font-size:85%;">Luis BONVIN<br /></span></strong><br /><em>After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.</em><br /><strong><span style="font-size:85%;">Aldous Huxley<br /></span></strong><br /><em>There is no doubt that the first requirement for a composer is to be dead.</em><br /><strong><span style="font-size:85%;">Arthur Honegger<br /></span></strong><br /><em>It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness and pain, of strength and freedom; the beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love; the cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.</em><br /><strong><span style="font-size:85%;">Bejamin Britten<br /></span></strong><br /><em>Music is the silence between the notes.</em><br /><strong><span style="font-size:85%;">Claude Debussy<br /></span></strong><br /><em>Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not live. Love is not music. Music is best.</em><br /><strong><span style="font-size:85%;">Frank Zappa<br /></span></strong><br /><br /><br />Thanks for reading, and please come back soon for more ...<br /><br /><br /><em><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;">Luis BONVIN</span></strong></em><br /><br /><br /><br />And enjoy learning to play the music you love with your guitar!<br /><br />Go to <a href="http://www.beginners-guitar.com">Beginner's Guitar Website</a> to find FREE BEGINNER GUITAR LESSONS!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.blogcatalog.com"><img src="http://www.blogcatalog.com/images/buttons/blogcatalog5.gif" border="0"></a><br /><br />I also started a SQUIDOO lens on <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/beginners-guitar/">Beginner's Guitar</a>, where I'll be most pleased to know about you and your guitar playing and learning needs.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/27981703-114743346259944997?l=beginners-guitar.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Luis BONVINhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11417565595324504909noreply@blogger.com0
