Is There A Cooler Musical Instrument Then An Acoustic Or Electric Guitar?
Among musical instruments, the age-old battle between the drum set and the guitar rages on. There’s a primal feeling about bashing on a drum set but there’s a more sublime satisfaction when learning to play any kind of guitar, acoustic or electric, really well. The question among men always is, when it comes to instruments; ‘Is the guitar the coolest musical instrument of all?’
At any rate, it can get pretty tiring trying to carry around a drum set on one’s back when being able to carry around any acoustic or electric guitar is a breeze. It’s certainly done its part to entice men and boys into trying to pick it up and learn to play it. In fact, even one of those big and bulky dreadnought acoustic guitar setups sings a siren song of attraction to most guys.
At the least, women dig the sounds that a well made and well played guitar can make, though they may not be all that enamored of the guy playing it, but women won’t generally let him in on that little secret of woman-to-woman sisterhood, it’s fervently hoped. Any guy worth his salt, however, will look at a guitar and truly believe that he will eventually be able to play it like Eric Clapton, though most people know better.
Take a moment to consider one of those very nice acoustic guitars like maybe an Alvarez acoustic guitar. It’s made with precision and beauty and many men go weak in the knees at the thought of learning enough to be able to play it well. Realistically, only one in 1000 men will ever really be able to do so, but they have their fantasies and this particular one is generally harmless.
Over the last half-century, guitars of all types have come to dominate cultural awareness when it comes to music. Probably, Chuck Berry and his wild playing in the late 50s can be most blamed for the phenomenon. But even somebody sitting around with an acoustic guitar and a lot of classical guitar training will admit that he gets a thrill from playing the opening riff to ‘Johnny B. Goode.’
And that’s the ultimate attraction to the guitar; because playing it — whether sitting down with a very expensive Takamine acoustic guitar or a nice electric axe — is nothing but fun. And when somebody really gets good, and is able to pick up a nice Gibson Les Paul and start wailing on it, the world is truly their oyster.
Taken altogether, it’s hard to dispute that the guitar holds a prime place in the world of music. Certainly, it grabs hold of many boys and men in a way that even the most beautiful leather baseball glove can never do. There’s just something about picking up a guitar, no matter if it’s an acoustic or an electric, that helps people feel better about themselves and about the people around them, and that’s a good thing in the end.
