It's important to recognize that different styles of music, even if they don't align with classical guitar, can coexist without detracting from it.

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.

Artists often blend different genres and influences, showing that it's possible to appreciate a wide range of music and art, while the music we connect with during our teenage years becomes a part of our identity, as it's the first music we choose for ourselves, separate from our parents' or siblings' influences.

It's essential to balance respect for the score with the need to make the music sound beautiful, as the composer may prioritize emotional expression over strict adherence to the written notes.

I don't believe that we made something that was better than popular music, but untrained listeners voted our tunes as sounding more appealing.

I believe that if a piece sounds good and captures the essence of the music, it will come across nicely, regardless of the original instrumentation.

I dislike the idea of a definitive performance; every musician brings their own interpretation, which is valuable.

I personally love new music, even if it's not for everyone, as many composers are often ahead of their time.

It's sometimes strange when other musicians play music I've written for a specific guitarist, but their different interpretations can be just as interesting and valid.
