Different guitars will give you different inspirations. When you play each different guitar, your feelings are completely different, and different emotions and feelings will be born. When you play a nylon string guitar you will capture more detail and emotions. For example, when you play blues music, you need a relaxed mood. At this time you need a guitar that can perfectly express your emotions.
Reason one: Yes, if you want to do something good, you must first sharpen your weapon.
It’s like a plumber or a carpenter. If they want to finish the work well enough, then in addition to the superb skills, you must have all kinds of professional tools. When a guitarist wants to perform professionally for a long time, he must have a guitar and related equipment that can adapt to all kinds of music. For professional guitarists, it is more necessary to market across the classics, jazz, metal and other categories. That’s right, today’s article is to help you develop a complete system of equipment to help you sail in the ocean of music!
Usually as a guitarist, the equipment budget is not necessarily wide. So you need to have at least three basic items: classical guitar, acoustic guitar, and electric guitar. Then further expand these three types of equipment according to future needs. Of course, there are peripherals such as speakers and effects that are required for these three types of guitars. These things are already a lot of overhead. But when you decide to go this route, these things will be completed in a step-by-step manner. So don’t worry too much to buy all.
Reason 2: Different guitars will give you different inspirations. When you play each different guitar, your feelings are completely different, and different emotions and feelings will be born. When you play a nylon string guitar you will capture more detail and emotions. For example, when you play blues music. You need a relaxed mood, and you need a guitar that perfectly expresses your emotions.
When you play Les Paul, your attitude will become relatively tough. On Ibanez’s RG guitar, you can play faster and more complexly. You also make its sounds more modern by matching the device.
For example, among different types of distortion, you will also get different inspirations. And when your equipment is not enough or not suitable for the music style you want to play, your talent will be limited. When I picked up the 1949 Gibson L7 guitar, I would naturally play jazz, which brought a typical traditional jazz sound! When I bounced the Ted Crocker Hot Rod, I had an urge to go to Mississippi. Because this original dirty sound is used to play the southern blues.
The influence of the music you are subjected to will make you play differently. When I see Strat, I will think of Rory Gallagher and Jimi Hendrix and Eric Johnson. When I saw Les Paul, I thought of Joe Perry, Jimmy Page and Paul Kossoff. Seeing Ibanez then I naturally think of Steve Vai and Paul Gibert. These subtle influences promote the formation of your personal guitar sound concept. These guitarists will always be buried in your heart and will not disappear. They tell you what kind of sound you can get with what kind of guitar. Maybe you have already found a different way to get your own unique sound, so great!
That is what you should do.
