Red Electric Guitar Qualities

By Tina Schwitz

Standing out, especially if you're looking to perform at more than a casual level, is a big part of performing. You can find vocalists just about anywhere, and bands are just as common these days as well. You could probably poll high school students and find that at least 1/3 of them have been in a band at some point. Because this type of thing is getting so big, you need to do something to stand out from the crowd. Every part of a band needs something special, and one of those things can be a red electric guitar.

A red electric guitar won't make you a faster shredder or a better player, but you have to take every advantage you can get. Red is the color that travels the furthest among all the colors. It's also a color that grabs your attention. The color red can grab and hold onto you, and your audience, and pull you all in. With a red guitar, you might grab someone's eye in the best way possible.

Naturally, a red electric guitar means nothing if it isn't one that you're comfortable with. You still need to be playing a guitar that you're comfortable with. The color itself is only a show, and is not going to be what makes you a star. It is all actually in your abilities. It may look or even sound great when someone else is playing it, but that's not what you should be considering. You should be considering if it looks great on you, if you sound great on it. A guitar is supposed to help you stand out from the crowd, not help you blend right in.

Some musicians have such distinct styles that even a few notes may be able to clue you in that it's their work, musicians like Carlos Santana and Beck. That's why we're looking at red: you need to establish yourself one way or another for the time being. If you're going to play what everyone else does, try not to get your hopes up for a big career. Seek out the perfect sound that flows from your fingers and makes you special.

Now, actually buying or getting a red electric guitar is usually very simple. You can find a bland electric guitar and repaint it if you happen to be on a budget. Making it look good, especially if you've found your sound in a high end guitar, requires some skill. All in all, it does not even have to be red. Red's just the strongest color. You can't go wrong as long as the color feels right on you. - 32370
