Guitar Playing Obsession
The guitar has got to be about the most well known musical instrument. Or maybe a drum should hold that particular accolade. But there can’t be many people in the world who have never heard or seen a guitar.
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. But creating a tune on a guitar can be a struggle.
I’ve met talented people who have taken no time at all to master the guitar to a level good enough to start a band. 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 are always new tunes to master, new guitars to buy or new guitar gizmos to try out. 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 a lover of vintage 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 resonator guitar sound is very much the sound of early blues.
If you’re already a guitarist or if you know any guitarists you will understand how obsessive they can be. Playing guitar, collecting guitars, listening to guitar music and going to gigs to see guitarists play can often take over their lives. And if you have a guitar playing husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend you will probably find yourself feeling less important than their obsessiion with guitars.
