The popularity of acoustic guitars over electric is largely due to the mystique and romance associated with them. The soft strumming of an instrumental acoustic guitar can cause people to stop what they are doing and just listen to the beautiful music.

This is the same as when you were young and learning to use a pencil. After a time you learned to write very well and you soon were able to write essays, book reports and all sorts of things.

When you’re in the music store, you play around with a guitar, just as you scribbled with your pencil. You hear what happens each time you move your hands a certain way.
