'tis true, Lee; a well-known Grouchoism, like "that's no lady, that's my wife" and "I wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member". I wonder when Groucho did the quote? Bit risque for the time they were in films I'd've thought.
Anyhoo, is that a new challenge, Mike? I suggest "Sharon Osbourne"  |

I completely identify with this quote, although the sayer is considered a very able and influential player. If I'd come up with the quote, it'd have had less irony than a plastic magnet:
| Quote: | | I'm glad there are a lot of guitar players pursuing technique as diligently as they possibly can, because it leaves this whole other area open to people like me |

Got to be Clapton or Gilmour, they are always banging on about the futileness of Speed Shredding and technique. |

| Too self-deprecating to be Clapton, surely? Gilmour takes and makes a joke about himself (such as "thank God Money switched to 4/4 so that I could actually play lead over it") but it's not him. More of a folky-rocky player. |

| No takers? OK, his first name is Richard and he is a guitarist, not a bassist. |
