Different tempos, dynamics, and tone colors are essential tools for musical expression.

I think it's essential to focus on the emotional impact of music rather than just technical perfection, as true artistry comes from conveying feelings.

Different dynamics, such as playing loudly versus softly, can significantly alter the emotional impact of a piece, making it feel more temperamental or calming.

We have a remarkable palette of expressive tools to convey emotions, feelings, moods, and even stories through music.

We must continue to exploit the beauty of our instrument, as it has the potential to create magical sounds.

Phrasing and breathing are vital for maintaining tension and guiding the listener through the music.

The choice of tone is not the same every time; it varies based on the circumstances of the performance and the clarity needed for the musical narrative.

I find that different guitars require subtle adjustments in technique to produce the optimal sound.

When discussing tone, we shouldn't think about good or bad tone, but rather about having a good or bad sense of tone, which involves understanding the properties of sound from both acoustical and psychological perspectives.
