A friend of mine, that I had known for some time, came up one day with an old guitar. I don't know where he got it, I don't know how long he'd had it, but he knew about two chords on it. He proceeded to teach them to me, and then we proceeded to go crazy over music.
Charlie Daniels
All you needed was a couple of instruments and a few chords and you could be on an indie label.
David Byrne
But we got up there and decided to stick to this mix of power chords and funk and that's where it really started for us. In having the courage to take that decision. To take a gamble not just with our music but our lives.
Michael Hutchence
Chords that were broken will vibrate once more.
Fanny Crosby

Harlan Howard
Except for a few guitar chords, everything I've learned in my life that is of any value I've learned from women.

For some reason, the concept of writing with swing chords was intimidating.
Suzy Bogguss
I do remember actually learning chords to Beatles songs. I thought they were great songwriters.
Mick Taylor
I don't know about five guys against the world. It's more like five guys against these three chords, and we're gonna wrestle 'em down no matter what it takes.
Benmont Tench
I don't think I think when I play. I have a photographic memory for chords, and when I'm playing, the right chords appear in my mind like photographs long before I get to them.
Earl Hines
I just like simplicity. I like simple songs, I like simple chords, simple vocals, simple lead guitar. I just like simplicity. That's just the way I like it.

I learned some chords and I started watching anybody I could, once I really got into it.
Johnny Rivers
I like chords that are very lush with all the lush parts taken out.
Carla Bley
I love listening to Radio Head's 'Everything in its Right Place' because it's all major chords, it makes you feel really good. It's soothing, it's got a beautiful voice, crazy textures. When I'm down I listen to that song and it really makes me feel good.
Casey Abrams
I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love it as a musician loves his violin, to draw out its sounds and chords and harmonies.
Napoleon Bonaparte
I realized by using the high notes of the chords as a melodic line, and by the right harmonic progression, I could play what I heard inside me. That's when I was born.
Charlie Parker
I tried several times to get the song right. The tune and the chords that I started with, there really wasn't anywhere else it could go. I stopped fighting it and let it take me away.
