Acoustic Guitar
Have you ever paused to listen for a moment to a musician gently strumming an acoustic guitar or performing a blazing, soul-stirring flamenco number? The sounds of an acoustic guitar invoke mystery and a feeling of romance for many people. Most people never stop to consider how versatile and wide-ranging acoustic guitars are, but virtually all of them can enjoy the beautiful music they make.
Do you ever wish you knew how to play the acoustic guitar? Does walking past one in the store window make you long to walk inside, pick it up, put one hand lovingly around the neck and caress the strings gently with the other, and begin playing a tune? Have you ever thought about how expensive it would be to take lessons? Or how difficult it would be to learn?
You think about how fun it would be to play the guitar at family get-togethers or for your friends at parties. But then, you think about how difficult it would be to learn, or how much lessons might cost. Also, you wouldn't know where to find the time to learn how to play properly.
Acoustic guitars may seem magical, but, of course there isn't really any magic in the guitars themselves. It's their music that enchants you. It's just like when you learned to write during childhood. After a while you mastered it and finally you could take on all sorts of writing assignments. The pencil was the implement to express the thoughts, but you were the one who put it to use. It's like that with an acoustic guitar too. It's the implement you use to make music. And you learn to play an acoustic guitar in much the same way you learned to write all those years ago. First you just play around with it, like a kind of doodling, and eventually the feeling for it in your fingers just takes over. Soon the music is flowing right through your fingers and into the guitar.
Acoustic guitars have a kind of draw to them, but people who have never played guitar before are often amazed by them. It is often assumed that there is much more to the guitar than there actually is. The ability to produce music is almost mystical to some.
The acoustic guitar's impressiveness can often lead to an attitude that causes people to approach it too delicately. They forget that guitars were meant to be used and that the power behind the music comes from the power the person gives to it.
If you really want to play guitar and find yourself checking out the acoustic guitars in all the local music stores or if there's a forgotten one sitting in your attic, pick it up and learn how to play it. You won't be sorry you did.
