  1. My favorite type of guitar playing would have to be either acoustic or alternative. I really like acoustic artists such as Gabe Bondoc and Joe Brooks. There acoustic performances are so raw and genuine. They have such a clean sound to them. It's so peaceful and relaxing.

    My second favorite type of guitar playing is alternative. I like to listen to alternative when I want to be pumped and hyped up. Alternative gets you energized and they are fun party songs to dance to.

  2. I guess my favorite guitar playing would be electric. And the reason I say electric and not alternative, is because you can basically play any type of music with that guitar. Like my favorite guitar player would Carlos Santana. I remember being like five and my mom would play his cd and that’s when I basically fell in love with this instrument and knew I had to play it. But I love when people just explode in there solo. It’s amazing. So I mean besides metal...everything done with electric is amazing.

  3. I havent started playing guitar until last year when I taught myself. I like accoustic, alternative and hawaiian. My friends all like how I play hawaiian music but i'm not that good. I need to get a better guitar and practice different styles of playing. But my favorite type of playing is hawaiian. When we have parties I play hawaiian music and then I make up stuff to play. its fun having aunties do hula while me and my uncles play guitar.

  4. My favorite type of guitar playing is acoustic and alternative. I like acoustic because it’s smooth and calming. When I listen to it I feel relaxed and it makes me happy.
    I also like alternative because it’s upbeat and energetic. I feel lively when I listen to alternative. Alternative music is good to get you pumped up and dance to like at parties. I usually listen to alternative, I guess alternative is my favorite.

  5. I'm not really sure which guitar type I'd like the best, seeing as how I've never played a guitar...Well, I've strummed one before, but never played one >w< I think that I would like acoustic the most because I've heard it before and I've liked the sound. Later today, I'm going to buy my first guitar, so I hope the experience will be as exciting and awe-blowing as anyone else's!

  6. My favorite style of guitar would have to be acoustic. I have always enjoyed listening to the kind of music made by people like Damien Rice and Andrew Bird. I believe that acoustic guitar lets the musician express the emotions he is trying to convey with his song much better than say a heavily distorted electric guitar.
    My second favorite style of guitar is flamenco.
    I love the pure energy that the musician has to inject into almost every song when playing flamenco. Everything about it feels alive.

  7. I like acoustic guitar playing because it sounds really cool. I like Jack Johnson's music because he is really good at playing the guitar. I think an acoustic guitar can go well in any genre of music. I also like acoustic guitars because they can be scratchy or smooth. I like to listen to fast, upbeat acoustic guitar playing because it's fun. I sort of like electric guitars if they are played to my taste.
