Guitar Playing Can Take Over Your Life
Paul Brett – Collecting Vintage Acoustic Guitars
The guitar is probably the worlds best known musical instrument. Maybe a drum is really the most well known instrument. There is probably not a single adult in the world who doesn’t know what a guitar is.
One thing that makes guitars so appealing is their accessibility. Unlike a Piano, or a drum kit, a guitar is portable and almost anyone can pick one up. Getting a tune out of a one is a whole different story though.
I’ve met people who, within a few months of picking up a guitar, were good enough to form a band and start gigging. But there are plenty of guitarists like myself, who’ve been playing for many years but still learning.
But it is for these reasons taht guitars are such an engrossing hobby. There is always something new to learn, new instruments to try and new gizmos to play with. Playing guitar is an engrossing and immersive pass time that can take over your life.
Not only do I love to play the guitar but I also love to collect them. I am particularly keen on resonator guitars. These are a form of acoustic guitar that uses a resonator cone made of spun allumnium to give the guitar extra volume. The design originates from the early part of the 20th century before electronic amplification became commonplace. The sound of the resonator guitar is very much the sound of the blues, the music that I love.
If you’re a guitar player or if you are lucky enough to know any guitarists you will already understand how obsessive they can become. Keen guitarists can find that their interest in guitars, guitar playing, guitar players and guitar music can take over their lives completely. And if you are unfortunate enough to have a guitar playing wife, husband, boyfriend or girlfriend you may find yourself feeling that you are less important than their obsession with guitars.
