As anyone can tell, one of the beautiful things about the acoustic guitar is that it can go practically anywhere (Except maybe underwater.... maybe).

Where is your favorite place to play?


Mine would either be simply sitting on my bed... or, i have a swampy area about 400 feet into some woods behind my house, there is a tree stump that seems to be in the shape of a grand throne, it has armrests, a back, and plenty of room. i like to go out there with my geetar, over look the wildlife at the little pond/swamp, and play. good place to write songs!

For me, the best place is sitted on my chair, one eye on my garden, the other eye
on the TV (with volume turned off) That's where most of my songs come from.

There's a spot in my basement behind the water softener that has fantastic acoustics. I spend a ridiculous amount of time there with my guitar. Also in the swamp behind my house. It's nicer there now that the mosquitoes have all died off.

My favourite place to play my guitar though is on Orlebar Point at Gabriola Island at sunset, because I am a hopeless romantic.

My new bedroom's got a really nice mellow kinda decoration to it, and great acoustics, so playing there's pretty good.
My school hall as well (when it's empty!! smile.gif ) has amazing acoustics, it can even make me sound good!

I like to look at myself when I play so I get in front of a mirror in my living room. I get my mic out and everything. You can call me vain but Tzara likes to look at sunsets, I like to look at pretty things too.

My downstairs neighbors are both serious musicians, so I'm a bit shy about letting them hear me play. For this reason I play my acoustic, quietly, in my living room area.

Besides I don't want them to pull a muscle from laughing so hard.

He's an awesome guitar player. He even makes guitars. She teaches muisic at local schools. I'm talking serious musicians.

I'm not that bad, but it's intimidating.

Sometimes (when it's not too hot or too cold) I go up into my attic and play. This way I won't disturb them, and they can't hear me...at least, I hope they can't hear me.

Sometimes I go out on my deck and play. At these times I try not to worry about what they might think of my guitar playing.

When I'm watching tv at night and am on my couch, I usually have my guitar and am playing scales or various songs.

I have a beautiful koi pond in my backyard and my favorite place to play my guitar and sing is out by the pond on our patio swing.

Depends on the weather, in the winter I play in the living room on the couch most of the time. The couch is right across the room from the fireplace. I also play on the couch when it's real hot during the summer.....air conditioner.

I'm out in the country, and I have an old church pew on my front porch, so when it's nice I like to play out on the porch....watchin the sun go down.

I should be able to write something.....it'll come.

The bathroom is definitely great for acoustics, and for those of us who tend to be a little shy about playing for others, the porch on a dark night ( i had some neighbors that i've never met or seen clap for me the other day), or park your truck somewhere, let down the tail gate, and play your heart out (if you feel you sucked, you never have to go there again tongue.gif

Aha, he admits it........... seducing young women by pretending to have an interest in ornithology.

I like to play on the beach when no-ones around late afternoon just before the sun sets, what a great feeling. What a place to get lost and carried away. *sigh* Why dont I do it more often?
