Why The Guitar Is An Incredible Instrument
- Versatility
- Popularity
- Portability
- Approachability
The guitar is an instrument that can suit a wide range of genres, from rock, metal and blues, to jazz and country. You can play either acoustic guitars or electric guitars to diversify the style of play. While most guitars contain 6 strings, some can even come with 7 or 8 for further variety!
Because the guitar is used by so many artists in so many different genres of music, when music learners want to start playing their favorite songs, they often find that the guitar is the best place to start. The guitar also got a further boost in popularity thanks to games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band.
As far as portability goes, you can’t really beat the guitar. The acoustic guitar especially, can be carried anywhere with ease. It's lightweight, and can fit easily in the trunk of a car or even the overhead bin of an airplane. After transport, it requires little maintenance. All you need to do is tune it, and you're ready to play!
It is relatively easy to learn to play the first note, scale or chord on a guitar. The frets of the guitar provide a clear division between notes. In fact, one does not even need to know precisely where those points of division are. Unlike an instrument such as violin, which has no frets, it is relatively easy to play a correct note on the guitar.
