Acoustic guitars of celebrities


Wyatt Fisk

I was playing the DVD of John Mayer's concert two years ago entitled "Where the Light Is" at the Nokia Theater, and I was particularly glued on his guitars. Though I acknowledge Mr. Mayer's superb music, I think it was his guitars that were most fascinating. He changed acoustic guitars every after a song is over. Estimating from those scenes alone, the guy might be the owner of more than a couple hundred of those babies.

Mayer is known for being a patron of electric guitars, he worked his way up the musical chart playing tunes on acoustic guitars. Mayer was also reportedly given his own line of Martin Acoustic Guitars. He's also known to play OM-EC Eric Clapton and black Guild Acoustic Guitars. After all, acoustic electric guitars can be easily distinguished from his winning singles "No Such Thing" and "Say".

Bob Dylan was constantly playing a solid wood acoustic guitar (http://www.acousticguitarcorner.com/guitars) once. When he was branded a troubadour, plugged in his acoustic guitars, shifted to electric blues and formed a band. Acoustic guitars have to be plugged one way or another to increase volume. Acoustic electric guitars were then conceived of. The vibrations are picked up electronically by a microphone or transducers, making acoustic guitars' sounds stadium concert-worthy.

Pop music's younger generation also uses a variety of acoustic electric guitars. Avril Lavigne at times plays Gibson J-45 Acoustic Guitars and Takamine EAN70 Acoustic Electric Guitars. Pop-country star Taylor Swift loyally plays top-of-the-line Taylor Presentation Series Acoustic guitars. Bet her teardrops landed on its Hawaiian koa finish, and before she decked it with glitters for her "Our Song" video.

Pardon the digression from the popular circuit, but I think young Ana Vidovic is one the best classical guitarists of this day and age. Using nylon string acoustic guitars, Vidovic fascinates listeners with her fast plucking. The plain solid wood acoustic guitars made for classical pieces are free from brand distinction. The Croatian musician first performed at age 8, to an worldwide audience when she was only 11, and entered the National Musical Academy in Zagreb as the youngest student in the institution's 150-year history.

Veteran guitarists today say that guitars for beginners are a problem. "The strings are too hard to fret," they would say, especially for younger pluckers. Seagull Acoustic guitars are recommended for beginners though, since they are relatively cheaper and also sound well. A more expensive choice for the beginner are the Yamaha F310 Acoustic guitars but are anyway worth it. An intermediate learner can also upgrade to Fender Starcaster Acoustic guitars and Gibson Hummingbird Acoustic electric guitars to join the roster of celebrity users.

About The Author

Beginners often wonder the brand of acoustic guitar they should buy before starting a lesson and look at what their favorite celebrities play during performances. Little do they know that John Mayer switches guitars for every single he sings in every concert, that it's hard to detect which brand is which.
