I don't think rock n' roll songwriters should worry about art. I don't think it comes into it...as far as I'm concerned, Art is just short for Arthur.

Guitar is easy, all it takes is 5 fingers, 6 strings and 1 a**hole
Keith Richards

Treat each guitar track-and each song-completely different. For example, if I'm using a certain amp and guitar on one track, I'll deliberately use something else for the next tune or overdub.

True friends. Hardest thing to find, but you never look for them - they found you you just grow into each other
