A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
吉他
Guitar
When I got my first Marshall amp, it was so empowering. No one ever forgets their first Marshall amp if you're a guitar player pursuing a big powerful sound. I mean, no one ever forgets their first Marshall amp.
当我得到我的第一个马歇尔放大器，它是如此强大。没有人会忘记他们的第一个马歇尔放大器，如果你是一个吉他手追求一个强大的强大的声音。我的意思是，没有人会忘记他们的第一个马歇尔放大器。
We've always described our sound as a bit more guitar driven than normal pop music. Kind of Pink in a boy band form. We've heard a few people say that so now we use it. I think Pink is amazing person to be compared to.
我们总是说我们的声音比普通的流行音乐更吉他驱动。有点像男孩乐队的粉红色。我们听过一些人这么说，所以现在我们用它。我认为粉红色是一个了不起的人来比较。
I just managed to convince my grandmother that it was a worth while that was something to do, you know, and when I did finally get the guitar, it didn't seem that difficult to me, to be able to make a good noise out of it.
我只是想让我奶奶相信这是值得的，你知道，当我终于拿到吉他的时候，我并不觉得很难，能够发出很好的声音。
The classical guitar has a dynamic to it unlike a regular acoustic guitar or an electric guitar. You know, there's times when you should play and there's times when you gotta hold back. It's an extremely dynamic instrument.
古典吉他不像普通的原声吉他或电吉他那样有动感。你知道，有时候你应该去玩，有时候你又不得不克制自己。这是一个非常有活力的工具。
If you can play guitar and sing, you can probably get a gig down the road playing at a restaurant, but don't throw your life away chasing something that is so elusive it will only lead you to regret and may turn you bitter.
如果你会弹吉他和唱歌，你很可能在未来的道路上得到一个在餐馆演奏的机会，但不要把你的生活浪费在追逐一些如此难以捉摸的东西上，它只会让你后悔，可能会让你变得痛苦。
And, so, when I picked up the guitar, suddenly, just playing a couple of notes really, really spoke to me. It was almost like I should have been doing it prior to that. You know, it was something that just felt really natural.
所以，当我拿起吉他的时候，突然，我弹了几个音符，真的，真的对我说话了。就好像我应该在那之前就这么做。你知道，这是一件很自然的事情。
I'm on this eternal quest to get the best guitar sound in the world, but my vision of what is 'the best' changes every time I go into the studio. Sometimes my goal is to make my guitar jump out, and sometimes I want it to lay back.
我一直在追求世界上最好的吉他声音，但每次我走进录音室，我对“最好”的看法都会改变。有时我的目标是让我的吉他跳出来，有时我想把它放回去。
Unfortunately, most of the songs that I write I don't write them with guitar in mind. I just write it as a song and that was probably one of the ones that left an opening for it. The song's all right, I wouldn't choose to sing it now.
不幸的是，我写的大多数歌曲都没有把吉他放在心上。我只是把它写成一首歌，这可能是其中一首给它留了个开头的歌。这首歌不错，我现在不想唱了。
So I played the acoustic guitar and harmonica and stomped my foot and I think I was right in assuming that Greenwich Village would be the best place to perform my own material and possibly get some attention, move on to making records and all.
所以我弹了原声吉他和口琴，跺了跺脚，我想我是对的，我认为格林威治村是最好的地方来表演我自己的材料，可能会得到一些关注，然后继续做唱片等等。
Oh yeah, I mean, it wasn't a very good guitar, most good guitars have got thrust rods in the necks that you can adjust or that'll keep them in shape, you know keep them straight. This one just, well it turned into a bow and arrow after a couple of months.
哦，是的，我的意思是，这不是一把很好的吉他，大多数好的吉他的琴颈上都有推力杆，你可以调整它，或者保持它的形状，你知道，保持它们的直线。这个在几个月后就变成了弓箭。
The concept of clearing one's mind before performing a task so that it is consumed by nothing but that task, yet is open at the same time to anything that might happen - that concept can be applied to playing guitar, and it's enormously helpful for improvising.
在执行一项任务前清空大脑的概念，使它只被那项任务消耗，同时对任何可能发生的事情都是开放的——这个概念可以应用于弹吉他，它对即兴发挥非常有帮助。
I destroyed a lot of guitars trying to get them to do what I wanted, but I learned something from every guitar I tore apart, and discovered even more things. Things like if the string is not straight from the bridge saddle to the nut, you're going to have friction.
我销毁了很多吉他，试图让它们做我想做的事情，但我从每把吉他上都学到了一些东西，并发现了更多的东西。比如如果绳子不是从桥鞍到螺母的直线，就会有摩擦。
