Quotes
Dominic Miller
Touring guitarist for Sting and arranger of The Beatles' songbook for classical guitar.
“As Sting has often said, actually, and we talk about this sometimes, is that the Beatles, by doing those songs and coming up with those compositions, they kind of gave a license for everyone else to have a go. These guys from Liverpool, if they can do it, everyone should try, and so it opened the floodgates for a lot of songwriters to have an attempt at writing songs, which had never really happened before in England, like pop songs, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge.”

“So there's a neighbour of ours about three or four doors down who's probably a piano teacher, and they're teaching this kid to play Bach, but it's the most beautiful thing I could ever hear. So I look forward to that moment when they have their lesson, and I hear Bach played badly with no real tempo, but that's the most beautiful thing that you can hear.”
