I'd say it's harder to play with an acoustic guitar strapped over your shoulder for a few hundred people than it is to play in front of thousands with an entire bombastic band behind you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Guitar playing isn't really for everybody.
Playing for someone else's crowd is always difficult for any band.
If a guitar is too easy for me to play, it makes me too laid back. I like to battle with my guitar.
In real life I can play guitar, sure, but badly.
I'm not good enough to be playin' much acoustic guitar onstage. Man, you gotta get so right; I mean, the tones, the feel, the sound. Plus, acoustic blues guitar is just that much harder on the fingers.
Guitar playing is both extremely easy for me and extremely difficult for me at the same time.
Great guitar players are a dime a dozen. It is sometimes your very limitations as players that set you apart from the crowd.
I don't think anyone has exhausted the range of sound possible in a conventional rock band, but people do become slaves to their own easiest techniques.
I can plunk out enough chords to write a song, but I'm completely afraid to play guitar in front of other people. It's a fear of failure, I guess.
I mean, I can sit down with a guitar, and in fact, we do two, three songs with just guitar and percussion.
