Some Alvin Lee's quotes. Goto "Alvin Lee's quotation" section for more.I just couldn't take school seriously: I had this guitar neck with four frets which I kept hidden under the desk. It had strings on it so I would practice my chord shapes under the desk and that's about all I did at school.
Tags: Guitar, School, SeriouslyI just play to the people I can see. So it's almost like you are playing to the first few rows of the crowd. You can see the faces of the first hundred people, but then it becomes a blur as the crowds disappear over the hill.
Tags: Almost, Few, PlayingI think a lot of modern day guitarists start off playing like Eddie van Halen, and they don't take the time to learn the basics.
Tags: Learn, Start, TimeIt was by listening to Goodman's band, that I began to notice the guitarist Charlie Christian, who was one of the first musicians to play solos in a big band set-up.
Tags: Big, Christian, MusiciansThe chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band, but now they are really another band, so it's all a bit weird.
Tags: Another, Less, ThinkingAnywhere you go in the world is what you make of it, not what you read in books.
Tags: Anywhere, Books, ReadI started off playing the clarinet, after I was inspired by listening to my dad's Benny Goodman records.
Tags: After, Dad, OffI went to see John Mayall at the Marquee, with Peter Green on guitar, and that was a particularly good gig.
Tags: Good, Green, GuitarSo if you see Ten Years After, it's not me anymore. I'm very happy with what I am doing now.
Tags: After, Anymore, HappyWe also did something called the Texas Peace Festival, which was actually a better gig both musically, and in the way it was organised.
Tags: Actually, Both, PeaceGeorge Harrison was also a pleasure to work with. He was one of the most famous people I've ever known, but in spite of that fame, he was such a nice and friendly guy.
Tags: Famous, Nice, WorkHe saw us play a few times in fact. I did this song called I Can't Keep From Crying Sometimes, and Jimi loved it. He paid me a huge compliment when he told me that he was thinking of doing something similar himself!
Tags: Keep, Sometimes, ThinkingIt wasn't until the movie came out that it all changed for us. Some people say it was the start of Ten Years After, but in another way, it was the beginning of the end.
Tags: After, Another, EndStrangely enough, through all those school years I decided at 13 or 14 I was going to be a musician and so school was just something to get out of the way, a waste of time and not to bother with it.
Tags: Enough, School, TimeThere is a big age gap between my sisters Janice and Irma and myself so I didn't know them that well when I was younger although they have been very supportive in later life.
