About This Quote
In this quote, Jimi Hendrix says, “A real musician ain’t gonna choose his own guitar like an evil master choosing his slave.” A real musician will play what he feels is the best guitar for him. He will not worry about making a statement about himself with a certain guitar. He will not try to play a certain way because he wants to impress people. He will not choose a guitar that he thinks will make others think that he is special. A real musician respects the instrument and appreciates it as a gift from God to help him express himself.
