Only 6 Strings – A Lifetime of Learning
How Difficult Can It Be?
I believe that the guitar is the most amazing instrument on the planet.
Not just because it is one of the most popular – if not the most popular – but because it is ingrained in our modern culture.
Take the guitar out of the 1950′s and Elvis, Chuck Berry and early Rock’ n ‘Roll would sound completely different.
Take the guitar away from the 1960′s and you can kiss Led Zeppelin and the Beatles goodbye … unimaginable!
Of course, with the genius of some, comes a lot of “not so good stuff” (to be kind) of others, but when I listen to songs like Jail House Rock, Johnny B. Good, Stairway to Heaven and Yesterday I believe that todays contemporary music stands in the shadow of people who were inspired by the most amazing instrument on the planet, and became the most amazing composers and performers themselves.
The guitar has only six strings but it takes a lifetime to get to know them, and learn to play the electric guitar really well.
