“I grew up around guitar players.” — Charlie Haden Quote

“I grew up around guitar players.”

“That's what I tell my students at California Institute of the Arts where I taught for 27 years. I taught them if you strive to be a good person, maybe you might become a great jazz musician.”

“Mostly I play with records. I play with my friend Bill Evans.”

“I suppose my father was more influential in my starting to play the guitar.”

“As a guitar player, it's harder for me to impress somebody than it is to write a song that they like.”

“Guitar players never listen to lead singers.”
