10 Things You Need To Know About Guitar Players

Guitar players are a different breed of human. They love nothing more passionately than strumming those strings as if they were made of the most exquisite silk. The guitar player is part of an entire sub-culture of cool and once one picks up a guitar, chances are they’ll never put it down; it’s more addicting and pleasing than the strongest of opiates.

There’s something utterly captivating about this infamous instrument – it represents freedom, peace, and whole other level of cool; other instruments simply can’t compare. The esthetic of the guitar as a piece of art is also difficult to ignore. Even as a piece of art there’s something utterly mystifying about this glorious instrument.
Here is a list of the ten things you need to know about guitar players:

1. They can never have enough picks.

You’ll see them scattered everywhere in a guitarist’s lair.  They’ll also have one exclusive favorite pick, maybe even a collection of picks that hold sentimental value which will be kept in a special (sometimes secret) spot.  Be careful if you try to take one; even though you may think that the guitarist won’t notice – they will. Picks to a guitarist are like a lighter to smoker…they will notice if even one goes missing.

2. They’re obsessed with a certain brand of guitar.

Most guitarists have a favorite brand – Fender, Gibson, Ibanez, Epiphone, Jackson, etc. Each one of these guitars fits a certain genre of music. For example: those who are fans of blues usually gravitate to a Fender Stratocaster and those who are into the Metal scene prefer the Ibanez and Jackson brands. They admire guitar brands the same way vehicle aficionados obsess about cars.
