“I played a Hamer once, but I didn’t like it. I didn’t have time to set my amp right for it,” Brooks said of his first experience with a Hamer. “Then one night, I was on stage and I broke a string. I said to my son, who’s my guitar technician, `Hand me that Hamer.’ Man, my amp must have been set just right because that guitar kicked out and I just went crazy. People were saying, `What’s wrong with him?’ Twenty years came back. I haven’t put down that guitar since.” -Lonnie Brooks

"I’d think learning to play the guitar would be very confusing for sighted people.” Doc Watson
