The Epic Trio.

With a different perspective, everyday objects becomes our instrument. A lot came to me as i went through and as a musician, Guitars always stood as an hero in my sight. I have no specific reason why i became so fond over guitar but it just as an liking i guess. I find that guitar is the only instrument that stands among all because its travel easy, its beautiful to play and the most creative instrument to play. When it come to guitar, you can just go insane or you can just let the strings do the magic. Rock and Metal won't be completed without a guitar , so as Blues and Jazz. Any genre of music that we listen now days is not completed without a six stringed instrument.

The latin word for guitar is actually called as "chitara", and it before that is was actually called as "chordophones". The name differs as time moves on but the main idea was invented by a Hittite when he was carving a 3,300 year old stone and playing a stringed instrument. As time moves by this instrument evolved and become to a big box with a long neck and six strings attached to it. There are three types of guitars. The first is the classical guitar which of course is perfect for a melodious tone and perfect for plucking. Beginner guitarist use classical guitar as a platform to build up their skills. The second is the acoustic which is good for plucking and mostly used to play rhythm. This type of guitar is commonly used by many professionals and beginners to strum or just create melodies. The last is my favourite which is the electric guitar that can probably make you go insane. Why do i say insane because it is so fun to play once beginners understand goes to this level. By plugging it to a power pack amplifier and there comes the Rock and Metal version of any song. Electric guitars can also be used to play creative music by mixing effects. This is done by effects pedal.

I would say the finest instrument ever created is probably the guitar. No other instrument can do several effects and also able to do melodious tone. Its just impossible to perform a Rock genre on keyboard and so as playing a melodious tone on the drum. But of course no instrument is lack of creativity, just that how a musician actually plays it. A guitar on the other hand, its just beautiful. The only negative part of a guitar is that it takes a lot of time and patience to learn this instrument. And often beginners tend give up because it becomes to painful for their fingers. But they don't understand the beautiful reward at the end.
