I know that's a bold statement but I truly believe it.

If you look at what can be done on a guitar, try and find another instrument that you can do so much on. It has a greater range than most, except a piano, You can play slow, fast, single notes, chords, pick chords, strum chords. Buy playing with a pick it sounds different, if you use your fingers and have nails it sounds different, you can get percussion going, you can have harmonics in almost any position and you can pretty much cover for a whole band on that one instrument.

With most instruments you have variations in design, but they still sound the same. a guitar can sound so very different with steel strings, nylon strings, a deep body, a shallow body, fibreglass bodies, wood bodies, painted, treated, eaten by worms the variations are amazing.

That said I have to elaborate on Tuck Andress. He is one of the few guitarists I watch and I still want to play guitar. I find him interesting, inspiring and downright incredible. I'll let his playing do the rest.
