The guitar is one of the most versatile musical instruments ever.You can play a whole range of music on the guitar.The gitar is only second to the piano in this respect.

Guitars - Guitars in studio
And it is amazing how many different types there are and the different sounds, a muso friend of mine is in two bands and he has so many different guitars and takes about three different ones on each gig...

Oh yes this guy treats his guitars like they are his children, cleans them and one thing I didn't know until I started helping these bands that he changes the strings every second gig, I thought they would just keep going on...

I play acoustic guitar and have never played an electric one ever.The one that I now have was a birthday present from my Mum.You will be surprised that I have only replaced just 1 string in 11 years. I understand that your friend performs in a band so there is a world of difference between him and his work and me who plays guitar at home and sings like Elvis.(ha ha ha ha ha!!!!)!!!!LOL!!!

Yes! You are definitely right. Learning piano is more difficult for me than learning how to play the guitar. I'm currently in a band and I play lead. Playing guitar is one of the most enjoyable thing I do and especially if I'm playing it with my band. It is just so fun and I really love to play this instrument. :)

Hi there. I definetly agree, the guitar is an awsome instrument and when played right can give out the most beautiful hynotic sounds... My whole family play the guitar, my sister, our 3 brothers, both our parents, all our uncles and grand mother, each one of us at different levels, some advance and into classical, some advanced and into metal, I play mostly rythym and enjoy singing along as well... Our two children just picked up the guitar one day and now they have an interest in playing... Have a great day...

I do agree with that jungle, of all the music instrument guitar is my favorite!!lol I remember my mom told me when i was as little as 4 yrs old i would sing along w/ my father or anyone who plays the guitar.lol that really made her laugh because even if i don't know the song i would just hum w/ it.lol in highschool i started learning but just have to stop to concentrate in school. Now i feel lucky to have a partner who have great skills. He's teaching guitar and piano, so i'm back to learning.

I agree, the guitar is a beautiful, versatile instrument that just creates beautiful music for any mood. I think my favourite guitar style is Flamenco. It's so passionate and upbeat.
