"CANEWELL: Having a nice guitar don't make you play no better.
FLOYD: Not if you don't know how to play. But if you already know how to play good, a nice guitar will make you feel better about yourself. If you feel better about yourself, quite naturally you be able to play better. People see you with a nice guitar they know you put the music first...it will work its way to the front. I know. I tried it many a time. I say, 'Let me put this music down and leave it alone.' Then one day you be walking along and the music jump on you. It just grab hold of you and hang on. Ain't too much you can do then."
