Acoustics Quote by Don Felder
“...every once in a while it seems like the cosmos part and something great plops into your lap, that's how it was with "Hotel California".. a leased beach house in Malibu ... all the doors wide open on a spectacular July day probably in 1975 ... soaking wet ... thinking the world is a wonderful place to be... with an acoustic 12 string ... those chords just oozed out.”

![“I do experiment with lots of different genres. In making music, I don't think of genre like, "I want to do this, because I'm going use that country music sound; I'm going use that hip-hop sound; I'm going use that acoustic [sound]." It's just making music. So now that I've traveled a lot more…” quote by India.Arie](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/188/india-arie-2-7871_acoustics_i-do-experiment-with-lots-of-different-g_42376.jpg)
