The Acoustic Effect

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

I don’t know if it’s just me but there is something really different about acoustic guitar, something unique. When I was still in my high school and wanted to impress girls, I don’t bring a drum set with me or a piano, I bring an acoustic guitar and sing to them acoustic songs. Acoustic songs are somewhat relaxing to the ears. It’s what I need whenever I’m distressed or stressed or when I wanted serenity. It’s effective, it soothes my mind. Even the heaviest of the rock songs when played in an acoustic guitar version, it transform into something else, something really good.

Regardless of the genre or the musical background, songs that are played using the acoustic guitar are the best for listening. Acoustic versions of some rock songs bring serenity and a solemn feel to it. It’s more emotional when it’s played in acoustic guitar. I want to give you an example, have you heard the song “seven years” by Saosin? It’s progressive rock plus screamo on the original recording, brutal and punchy.

Now, listen to the acoustic version of this song:

I don’t know about you but I could definitely see the difference between the two songs, eventhough their basically the same. The original version has angst and brutality meanwhile, the acoustic version is more honest and raw.

Therefore, we conclude that acoustic guitar music is more honest and you can be sure that it comes straight from the heart.
