|
| "Mr. Bert Weedon - Guitar Wizard . . . this guy is a legend . . . there are thousands of us so-called guitar heroes who first saw live TV guitar playing by Mr. Bert Weedon - Guitar Wizard . . . thank you very much for spreading the guitar and your enthusiasm to all of us, who are very happy to know you." | |
| Brian
May Bert Weedon's 'This is You Life' TV Show |

| "Bert was the first guitarist to make any real impression on me. I saw him on a TV show called 'Tuesday Rendezvous' and immediately persuaded my father to buy me my first guitar. In fact if it wasn't for Bert I might never have taken it up in the first place. Thanks for 'Play in a Day'." | |
| Mike Oldfield | |

| Paul McCartney | |
| "In the centre of London there's a very "in" club. The stairs leading down to the bar are narrow and cold, but there's a slogan daubed across the wall in giant letters that would warm the cockles of anyone's heart - 'Bert Weedon is God' . . . known to many as the man who taught the world to play electric guitar." | |
| Record Mirror | |
| "We all started off in our early days through your book 'Play in a Day' - thanks Bert." | |
| John Lennon | |

| Pete Townshend | |
