How to Decide on Your Guitar Playing Style
Bono, in his autobiographical book, shared with the readers
a story about him and a few classmates gathering at a friend who had a small
garage where they could practice. During
the first rehearsal, nothing sounded good and eventually they realized that their
host, who played the bass, did not know how to sing at all! He has chosen
the bass just because it was cool.
U2 soloist was talking about the famous Adam Clayton, who
has since received 22 Grammy awards with the Irish band!
So, do not be afraid if your music may not sound good at
first, or because you have no idea which is your guitar playing style. No one
knows from the beginning what's going on in music, not to mention that most
musicians must work hard to develop their skills and style because they do not
possess a natural inclination. Continue to listen to a lot of music, improve
your guitar playing skills, cultivate your musical tastes and, at some point,
your style will start manifesting. Do not expect this to happen suddenly.
First, you discover, imitate and only later you begin to realize what might be
your original contribution.
The Beatles began with Rock'n'Roll songs that used to be
very popular back then. They have evolved into a mature rock band,
experimenting with folk rock, funky, baroque rock and psychedelia. Out of four cute
and smiling youngsters, the Beatles members have become innovators and
influenced the entire world music industry!
Look for a new or used guitar at Colorado Springs retailers, and start cultivating your sound today.
