"What I love about the world is that there are so many diverse people in it. Everybody does something different. And that's what I love about the guitar. It's an instrument where there are so many different experts in so many different fields. There's no other instrument like that. Flamenco guitar, classical guitar, blues guitar, rock guitar, country, flat picking, bluegrass -it's incredible! And you'll find real virtuosi in all those fields" - Benjamin Verdery

"我热爱这个世界里人类的差异性.每个人都有不同的处事方法. 这也是我喜爱吉他的原因. 在吉他世界里有如此众多的领域和不同的专家. 没有其他乐器象这样. 弗拉门哥吉他, 古典吉他, 布鲁斯(蓝调)吉他, 摇滚吉他, 乡村歌曲(民谣)吉他, 匹克吉他, 蓝草(Bluegrass)吉他 - 简直是不可思议! 而且你能在这些所有的领域里找到很多真正的名家. " - Benjamin Verdery
