More From Terry Pratchett

After months of playing air guitar to 'free bird', what really got me into guitar was watching a documentary about jimi hendrix and picking up the woodstock soundtrack. listening to his version of 'star spangled banner' and 'purple haze.' my brother played acoustic guitar and, idolising him, i thought, 'i'm going to get a guitar.'
Brother Stars Air Guitar
Once i saw a duck walking down the street so i went into subway and ordered two pieces of bread, and they informed me that they could not do that, like there was some speical rule at subway that two pieces of bread weren't allowed to touch. so the woman asked me what i wanted on the sandwich and i said i do not care, it is for a duck, and she was like oh then it's free. i was not aware that ducks eat for free at subway. it's like give me a chicken fajita sub, but don't worry about ringing it up, it is for a duck.

The gut-strung guitar, the classical guitar, that is a whole different world on its own. when you think what the guitar can do and what every individual player does with a guitar, everyone has their own identity coming through the guitar.
Player Thinking Guitar
I believe i love my guitar more than the others love theirs. for john and paul, songwriting is pretty important and guitar playing is a means to an end. while they're making up new tunes i can thoroughly enjoy myself just doodling around with a guitar for a whole evening. i'm fascinated by new sounds i can get from different instruments i try out. i'm not sure that makes me particularly musical. just call me a guitar fanatic instead, and i'll be satisfied.
Believe Mean Guitar
What interested me about chuck berry was the way he could step out of the rhythm part with such ease, throwing in a nice, simple riff, and then drop straight into the feel of it again. we used to play a lot more rhythm stuff. we'd do away with the differences between lead and rhythm guitar. you can't go into a shop and ask for a "lead guitar". you're a guitar player, and you play a guitar.
Nice Simple Player
Your street, rich street or poor used to always be sure, on your street there's a place in your heart you know from the start can't be complete outside of the street keep moving on through the joy and the pain sometimes you got to look back to the street again would you prefer all those castles in spain? or the view of your street from your window pane?

I'm talking to a journalist and i really have nothing to say anymore, this is already uncomfortable. i feel the pain coming already. the brutal pain, when one day i should read your edit of whatever i say, because no matter what i say, no matter how i say it, no matter its tone, its frequency range, its decibel level or the way in which i put the words together, no matter my intentions and no matter the truth. what i'll read one day will be a chastised, manipulated abortion of your misunderstandings, your manipulations, your agenda and your amateur use of the english language.
Pain Talking Abortion
I never feel more alive than when i'm in great pain, struggling against insurmountable odds and untold adversity. hardship? suffering? bring it!
Running Pain Struggle
I admit there’s an element of brutality in all my work - it’s part of the truth about human existence i always want to explore - but the last thing i’m trying to do is put on some kind of freak show, inviting people to get off on other people’s pain and humiliation.
Pain People Trying
You have to be an ally in a difficult time and not turn on yourself with self-shaming thoughts, which makes facing pain intolerable.
