• Never having thought of writing for the guitar, I asked Julian Bream for a chart which would explain what the guitar could do. I managed to write some rather pretty pieces for him, except that the first six notes of the first piece all need to be played on open strings. So when he begins to play the audience will probably think he's tuning the bloody thing up!

• También suelo tocar la guitarra slide en afinación estándar, lo que me permite alternar entre usar el slide y trastear notas y acordes de forma convencional sin tener que volver a aprender el diapasón, como hay que hacer cuando se toca en afinación abierta.

• Bracelets with white symbols?” Michael made the question casual; in fact, he bent his head and concentrated on tuning his guitar, not that it needed it. Every note sounded perfect as it whispered out of the strings. “Do you remember?” “No.” She felt a pure burst of something that wasn’t quite panic, wasn’t quite excitement. “Does that mean they have Protection?” He hesitated for about a second, just long enough for her to know he was surprised. “You mean condoms?” he asked. “Doesn’t everybody?

• The result was the same as tuning down the strings by a semitone and using a capo at the first fret. With less tension in the strings, the sound was more mellow and softer; it also allowed me to cover a larger span of the fingerboard. I used this for quite a few years, but eventually I went back to the standard fingerboard.

• People who turn to philosophy expecting to harvest a crop of formulas of wisdom or understanding do not understand-philosophy has such things, but they are merely incidental, not the essence of the matter. Philosophy is about subtilizing and tuning up the coherence and acuity of one's seeing, it is about opening new dimensions for insight, learning to think about what one is doing when one thinks instead of just blundering through the processes of putting thoughts together.

• The music you make is shaped by what you play it on ... if you feel that you're not getting enough out of a song, change the instrument - go from an acoustic to an electric or vice versa, or try an open tuning ... do something to shake it up.

• El espíritu no es un concepto místico. El espíritu de una persona se manifiesta en su vivacidad, en el brillo de sus ojos, en la resonancia de su voz y en la soltura y gracia de sus movimientos. Estas cualidades están relacionadas con un alto nivel de energía en el cuerpo y se derivan de él... Al sentir la armonía entre la pulsación interna de nuestro cuerpo y la del universo, nos sentimos identificados con lo universal, con Dios. Somos como diapasones que vibran en el mismo tono...

• The bottom line is about the technique. The little things. Fine-tuning what we have to do. No matter who is out there, maybe theyre not going to be as good, quote-unquote, as the starters may be, but the bottom line for us is to make sure were doing the right things.

• It's kind of my intention to be myself on the show. My main priority on FOX is to do play-by-play. Nobody's tuning in to listen to me. If I didn't show up to do the games, people would watch, and the ratings probably wouldn't be all that different. That's not why people are watching.

• La otra es la del multiverso. Dice que tal vez el universo en el que estamos es uno de un gran número de universos. La inmensa mayoría no contendrá vida porque tienen una constante gravitacional errónea o una constante errónea. Pero a medida que aumenta el número de universos, aumentan las probabilidades de que una pequeña minoría de universos tenga el ajuste fino correcto.

• Había habido tantas palabras fáciles entre ellos que Daniel era culpable de asentir de vez en cuando y dejar de prestar atención al exceso. En aquel momento no sabía que debería haberlas guardado, como trocitos de cristal de mar escondidos en el bolsillo de un abrigo de invierno para recordarle que una vez había sido verano.

• When Rose takes to screaming, she starts loud, continues loud, and ends loud. Rose has a very good ear and always screams on the same note. I'd tested her before I burnt the library, and our piano along with it. Rose screams on the note B flat. We don't need a piano anymore now that we have a human tuning fork.

• Saqueaba mucha música que no tenía nada que ver con la guitarra, utilizaba muchas afinaciones y voicings extraños y estructuras de acordes que no son tan naturales para la guitarra; acabé desarrollando una paleta armónica que no es particularmente natural para la guitarra porque siempre estaba intentando que mi guitarra sonara como otra cosa.

• You don't want to get too far ahead of the audience and you don't want the audience to be ahead of you. So, that balance is difficult and it takes a lot of work and tuning in the edit, to get the right balance.

• No somos islas aisladas, somos eslabones conectados en una cadena. Cada palabra amable, cada rostro sonriente, cada buena acción, beneficia a nuestro prójimo, a la nación, al mundo. Recemos y meditemos juntos y alcanzaremos la orilla de la paz, esparciendo la dulce fragancia sagrada del amor y las vibraciones de la unidad y la armonía. Sintonizando nuestras mentes con la conciencia suprema, abramos nuestros corazones y cantemos las palabras: "Que todos en todas partes sean felices".

• We delude ourselves if we believe that skilled behavior is easy, that it can come about without effort. We forget the years of tuning, of learning and practice it takes to be skilled at even the most fundamental of human activities: eating, walking, talking, reading, and writing. It is tempting to want instant gratification - immediate expert performance and experiential pleasure - but the truth is that this primarily occurs only after considerable amounts of accretion and tuning.
