Most anyone can pick up a guitar, and in a fairly short period of time, begin expressing themselves and enjoying music. They may not be the greatest or any good at all, but they still play, and love doing it. It brings music into so many peoples lives. People that might otherwise never get to play music and might never find any other means to express themselves. And to me, that is why the guitar is the greatest instrument.

Guitar is the best instrument because its so versatile. Its like a piano, in that each fret takes you up about a 1/2 step, except its portable. When was the last time YOU tried to carry around piano? It has plenty of octaves too so you don’t have to worry about running out of notes like on a keyboard. Plus, being able to play those really high notes has nothing to do with your biological makeup like it does on just about any brass instrument. As long as you have arms, complete with fingers, you can play guitar.

3.) The guitar for me is the best instrument because of many reasons. First off, it allows me to be creative by fingering in my own unique way or trying to make up chords.
Secondly, there’s so much you can do with that one instrument. You can use chords or just finger. You can also finger with one finger and tap on the wooden part to add a nice percussion twist to it. And the strings are also awesome because you can choke them, you can slide across the fret board to make a sweet sound, and you can also slap the strings to produce sound.
Thirdly, its a simple instrument. You can carry it anywhere, you can bust it out at convenience to sing some folk songs or worship songs whether it be the beach or in your own house. It’s also one of the easier instruments to learn without the hassle of the notes such as piano. It provides the delicate sounds without the complexity of some other instruments.
Fourthly, guitar is not an instrument, its an extension of yourself. Although you can say that about any instrument, but for me this is my way to channel out stress or the express my love for God.
And lastly, i love the guitar because everyone loves the guitar, so you’re never embarrassed to bust it our and sing a tune. It gives you a sense of accomplishment and makes you feel just jubilant when you play.

The guitar is a superior instrument because it’s player has the possibility of having any note, interval, chord or scale under his/her fingertips anywhere on the neck through multiple octaves. It’s easy to pick up but impossible to master because it has the expressiveness and touch of a violin coupled perfectly with the utility of a piano.

3. The guitar is the only instrument I’ve truly been able to keep. I’ve gone through numerous alto sax lessons, piano lessons, and violin lessons, heck I’ve even had a drum lesson. But playing the guitar is the best high I can get. The guitar is easy to connect with; you can learn three chords and then have the power and knowledge to play a song. Without the guitar, music itself would be incomplete. It is the best instrument merely because it gives off genuineness and has a character of its own.

why guitar is the best instument:
because considering the history of music, guitar has become extremely popular in a very short amount of time. when guitar became a mainstream instrument, it made music more accessible to the people because piano was considered and instrument that only the wealthy upperclass played. Guitar was available to all classes and brought music into the lives of many. With guitar one can play both chords and melody. It’s one of the main instruments used in a music genre that is strickly american: blues. Today, most popular music requires a guitar in order for the song to be played properly and recognizably.

It gives you something to passionate about, something you can go to that’s yours and takes you away from work and pressure that comes along with school. Especially when you’re passionate about music, guitar is just a portable form of expression, a release you can take anywhere, and instead of eating chocolate and crying over a disasterous interview, compulsively excersizing from stress, or stuffing cheesepuff after cheesepuff into your mouth after you couldn’t lose that weight, you could just play guitar and somehow, you forget about those things for some time.

Guitar, while clearly not the only instrument out there, has opened me up to the wonderful world of music and composition. I’ve heard that there are few instruments, guitar, harp and piano being the three that come to mind, that enable the listener to comprehend and absorb more than one singular note. Since starting to play guitar, I’ve been able to truly listen to a song and pick apart the different pieces, furthering my understanding of the song and its inherent depth. Guitar is also a fantastic stress-reliever for me. Whether listening or playing, guitar is simply amazing, and it is clearly the best instrument as far as I can tell. Hands down.

Guitar can fully express how I truly feel. Guitar is the best because without it, there’s nothing special to music. (at least to my point of view) It’s the instrument that drives me and the sound produces through a guitar is just awesome.

3. A reason why the Guitar is the best instrument out there:
Well first of all, when one raises this question, the person who asked it undoubtedly believes that the guitar IS in fact the best instrument. My objective therefore is not to convince you whether or not the guitar is “of the highest quality” or if it is the most enjoyable of all instruments. No, my goal today is to persuade you that my reason is the best out of those 44 before mine.
To be honest, I can’t give you one reason alone why the Guitar is the best instrument out there. We all have our own views on the matter, and I think that’s what makes this instrument so great. For some, the guitar could be their only outlet after a long, exhausting day. For others , each strum could reflect the melodies of their hearts, finding solace in the soft squeaks of passing frets. Not only does the guitar mean differently to each of us, it comes in different styles as well. These styles are expressions of our mood, thoughts, and personality. Whether it be the funky twang of jazz, the sweet bossa nova of the spanish, the fun boogie of country, the mellow excitement of rock, or the powerful emotions of metal, we all have our own preferences, allowing us to be flexible in our choice of playing.
Joan Jett once said “My guitar is not a thing. It is an extension of myself. It is who i am.” I think this quote portrays the guitar extremely well. Although to the world it may only seem like a carved piece of wood, to us, every knick, every scratch, every memory, and every drop of sweat has shaped our guitars to who WE are. It is no longer just a slab of lumber that we lug around. It is a deep connection that allows our hearts to overflow with love, passion, and delight at the pluck of each note.
“The guitar is the human soul speaking with just six strings.” Yes, in fact, it is a beautiful one. An absolutely beautiful soul.
