　　Eric Gale's tips for guitarists

　　"Good things are happening in life for me now，" said Eric Gale, a famous American guitarist, "and when you allow yourself __1__(receive) those good things, the sky is the limit (极限)．" He also said, "Even if I could go back to the start, I still wouldn't change the way I play __2__ guitar. I'm playing the way that it came to me, and it turned out __3__ (exact) how it was supposed to. I picked the guitar up that way. I'd already learnt a tune or two, and when I tried to change, my brother was like, 'No, man, this __4__ (be) the way you've learnt to play - so __5__ are you trying to change it？' I don't feel like I'm playing the 'wrong' way, because it's so __6__ (nature) to me. Anyway, who's to say it's not everybody else that's playing it wrong？"

　　"All of the guitar __7__ (performance) on my new record are special to me. As to every last one of them, I think all of them were recorded on the first take. I just turned it on and pressed record. It was more of a live approach (方式), you know, __8__ I'm very comfortable with. I don't like to do a lot of __9__ (think). I just like to go for it. It's a whole lot better that way. All we were trying to do on this album was just be __10__ (we)，" said Eric.
