Okay it is a bit of an exaggeration, but maybe not a big one.
Still 12 strings can be very fun to play.

Not someone who I think of as a guitar player-but I like the quote:

Rev Billy Gibbons
“I was about 22 and just starting out with ZZ Top,” he says. “I was in the dressing room and BB said to me, ‘Can I play your guitar?’ I said, ‘Sure man.’ He strummed it a few times and handed it back to me. He looked at me rather quizzically and said, ‘Why you working so hard?’ I said, ‘What do you mean?’ He said, ‘Those strings. You got real heavy, heavy strings.’ I said, ‘Well, isn’t that how to get the heavy, heavy sound?’ He said, ‘No! Don’t be working so hard!’
“That was something new! I was mistaken in thinking he was using these extra-heavy strings. I guess he was right there at the beginning when super-light strings were beginning to show up.”

Not sure what this means--but thought I'd share it.

Anyone ever seen 'The Comic Strip Presents - Bad News Tour'? Around the same time as Spinal Tap. Anyhoo .. loved this quote,
I could play Stairway To Heaven when I was 12. Jimmy Page didn't actually write it until he was 22. I think that says quite a lot. - Vim Fuego

Treu? Or is only kidding?
You decide. (About the dyslexia part- the part about the mandolin is true)

A sentiment I don't agree with, probably because I can't arpeggiate like him.
Another I've always liked, but not attributed to anyone specifically:
"If you make a mistake, repeat it two more times. Then everyone will think you meant to play it."

"If you make a mistake, repeat it two more times. Then everyone will think you meant to play it." Isn't that jazz? lol

He's not a metal guy, but I can see some of them "borrowing" this...
Some of those jazz guys are hardcore.
