About the Instrument:
While the Acoustic Guitar has played the most beautiful classical music in the finest halls around the world, perhaps it is best known for being the instrument of choice at campfires everywhere. Probably the instrument that covers the most styles of music, you’ll be able to rock out one minute, and play Bach the next. Some patience will be required while your fingers adjust to pushing down on the strings. But once you get there, everyone will be inviting you to their campfire. Or music hall.
