Booking Acoustic Guitarists

The acoustic guitar is a descendant of the classical guitar but uses steel strings for a brighter sound. It is also referred to as a 'steel string guitar' or folk guitar. The acoustic guitar is played by strumming or finger picking the guitar strings. A related instrument is the acoustic bass guitar which is similar to an acoustic guitar but has a larger body and a lower sound. Although the term 'acoustic' generally refers to instruments that are not amplified by electricity, an acoustic guitar player will sometimes amplify his sound using a microphone, a pickup, or play on what's known as an "electric acoustic guitar". This can become necessary in larger venues where the acoustic guitar songs need amplification to be heard. An acoustic guitar player can be hired for any type of event or venue including private parties, coffee houses, corporate events, and wedding ceremonies. Acoustic guitar music spans many genres including pop, folk, blues, rock, jazz, and top 40. For your next special event, whether big or small, consider hiring an acoustic guitar player!
