Get Out Your Guitar Day

Get Out Your Guitar Day is February 11th

This holiday is for getting out that old guitar you have laying around your house! You should not be nervous to dig out that guitar in your closet and start strumming. Most guitar players who have been playing for a long time learned at a young age but this should not make anybody unmotivated as this holiday is for anyone at any skill level. Do not be afraid to play in front of your friends or family as playing guitar is a great activity to do with multiple people. If you enjoy playing a few chords here and there, it might be a good idea to take some lessons as this might just be a new hidden passion you did not know you had!

This holiday takes place on February 11th, far into the Winter season. It's a wonderful time to grab your guitar if you are trapped inside from all of the snow and cold weather. Playing guitar is a great activity to exercise your mind and your hand-eye coordination. Anyone is able to pick up the guitar and as it’s one of the most popular instruments, they are everywhere! You don’t have to be a musician or have musical talent to pick up the guitar on this holiday! Going to a local guitar or music store and checking one out is a great idea!

Grab an acoustic or electric and see what you can do! There are many guides and lessons out there to help players at any skill level! If you have a song stuck in your head or a song that you have always wanted to learn, now is a great time to give it a shot! There are so many different possible styles to playing the guitar, making it one of the most versatile instruments! Some popular styles range from Metal, Rock, Classical, Funk, Jazz, Symphonic, and Blues. Any of these styles range from easy to expert with the level of difficulty. Metal and Rock are pretty easy for beginners to start out with, if that interests the player. 

It's always fun to turn on one of your favorite songs and strum along to it. This holiday is a great time to try something new and give the guitar a chance, you may surprise yourself! Take this time to get out a guitar and just have fun with it!
