Guitar Playing Unplugged

    The music emanated from a guitar is all-encompassing and permits you to forget everything else and feel the beat. Typically speaking, most guitarists favor the electric guitar for the power of change and for being able to create ear-shattering chords.   Nevertheless, if you’ve never heard any other form of guitar playing, you really don’t know what you’re missing. In fact, the acoustic guitar is just as, if not more, powerful than the electric because you can “feel” the rhythm and connect to the music on a level you’ve probably never thought possible.  

Why is an acoustic guitar so powerful?

It provides the most organic, untouched sounds ever. Without the need for backup equipment to boost the sound or to allow mistakes to go unnoticed, the emotional pull to the music is raw and mesmerizing.   So what are more benefits of playing the guitar “unplugged”?  

• Electric guitars submerge a song in background noise, sometimes so much that you miss the connection to the song.

 

• Acoustic guitars require absolutely no extras in order to create beautiful music. What you hear is exactly what’s coming from the guitar.

 

• Anyone who plays an acoustic guitar has to keep the rhythm going the entire song whereas on the electric guitar, you can pull out and fill in with the electric equipment.

 

• Acoustic guitars provide a personal connection and pleasing sounds that are delicate and 100% pure.

 

• Many classic songs can be played easily on the acoustic guitar. Solo electric performances do not have the intricate sound that an acoustic performance would have.

 

• Amplifiers are not necessary for an acoustic guitar. You can play anywhere you desire and still get a powerful reaction from the audience because the sounds are very moving.

  So the next time you want to try your hand at guitar playing, try the “unplugged” version and go for the acoustic guitar. After a few tries, you’ll be amazed at the sounds you can produce.
