John Fahey Musician Quotations

So I was really composing for full orchestra and of course I didn't know enough chords or harmonies yet but I came up with some interesting stuff.

Regarding fame, fortune and Oregon I do wish I had more money.

While I recognize in the back of my mind that I am an occasionally brilliant guitar composer and arranger, innovator and player.

I know many inferior guitarists who are very proud of the fact that they are as good as they are, when in fact they are only moderately good.

In the music I was composing I was trying to express my emotions, my so called negative emotions, which were depression, anger and so forth.

They are too focused on the audience rather than on their own emotions, or they are too focused on technique or perhaps on both.
