Acoustic Music & the Guitar<\/h4>\n

“The guitar is a whole lot more than a guitar….there’s a whole attitude towards life wrapped up in it”  (Charles Fox)<\/h6>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

“Acoustic music is the timeless sound of nature and resonating materials \u2013 wood, bone, gourd, gut and skin. It predates the spoken language of modern culture, crossing all borders and barriers. It speaks to great, universal truths of very personal, yet familiar stories. Those stories keep legacies alive, allow them to be shared, and create new ones going forward”.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

(Derek Johnson aka Musicalist)<\/p>\n

Music is unparalleled in both its reflection of and impact on human culture, developing across time, place, religion and culture. It is the door to our souls, the balm for our spirit, an inspiration to feel deeply, our common language, and the heart of community.<\/p>\n

Acoustic instruments were dictated by the flora and fauna of each area, evolving and cross fertilizing as people migrated across the world. <\/span>The humble guitar is known for its enormous musical versatility across all cultures and genres. It is the voice of people to tell their stories, and attainable to everyone regardless of wealth or status.<\/span><\/p>\n
