Guitar Quote by Jimmy Page

“If I pick up a guitar, I don't practise scales. I never have. I come up with something I haven't done before, new approaches to chord sequences, riffs, rhythms, so it becomes composition. It's not like the music I'm doing is just a single thread.” quote by Jimmy Page — Download Open image
