Red Electric Guitar Qualities

By Tina Schwitz

It's sort of a big deal to stand out on stage or when playing guitar in front of friends in a small group. Singers are a dime a dozen, and bands can be found just about anywhere. You could probably poll high school students and find that at least 1/3 of them have been in a band at some point. Because this type of thing is getting so big, you need to do something to stand out from the crowd. Vocalists need great voices, drummers need a good drum kit, and guitarists need something special like a red electric guitar.

A red electric guitar won't make you a faster shredder or a better player, but you have to take every advantage you can get. Red is the color that travels the furthest among all the colors. It's also a color that grabs your attention. The color red can grab and hold onto you, and your audience, and pull you all in. With a red guitar, you might grab someone's eye in the best way possible.

As always, a guitar is not worth anything if you can not play it comfortably. The same can be said of a red electric guitar. No matter what, comfort is key. The color, while you're going to use it, isn't what you really need to play well. It really comes down to you. It may look or even sound great when someone else is playing it, but that's not what you should be considering. You should be paying attention to the way it looks and sounds on you. A guitar is supposed to help you stand out from the crowd, not help you blend right in.

Some musicians have such distinct styles that even a few notes may be able to clue you in that it's their work, such as Carlos Santana and Beck. That's why we're looking at red: people need to associate you with something while you're still getting your sound worked out. If you're going to play what everyone else does, don't get too hopeful for the future. Seek out the perfect sound that flows from your fingers and makes you special.

Finding and purchasing a red electric guitar is actually fairly simple. You can find a bland electric guitar and repaint it if you happen to be on a budget. Making it look good, especially if you've found your sound in a high end guitar, requires some skill. In truth, you do not have to pick only red. Red's just the strongest color. You can't go wrong as long as the color feels right on you.
