I just love this article, “Guitar Town” by Greg Quill, published in the Toronto Star.
If you love your guitar, this is a must-read.
Greg begins,
“Guitars work strange and wicked magic.
In the right hands, a guitar is capable of conjuring up voices no human vocal cords can achieve, casting soul-stirring incantations and prompting urges no other instrument evokes.
Every guitar speaks intimately and obsessively to the man or woman who plays it.
Custom-made or off the rack, every guitar has a distinctive eloquence in the right hands.
And once you’ve learned its language, to manipulate its subtle tonal nuances, and caressed every angle of its body, you may think you’ve mastered it.
The truth is: the guitar owns you.”

Nice article.
Every guitar that owned me had a story to tell. Each taught me the different ways it could be played, and yes, some even had special requests for alternate tunings and stringing.
When I write songs, the music seems to emanate from deep within my soul, but it is the guitar that speaks and finds the melodic words to express what I’m hearing inside me, and sometimes it comes out a little different, better, than I thought it would be.
The question is “Who is getting played?”
