As a keyboard player, I can usually play what I hear in my head, but at one point in my musical life I found myself falling into predictable and overly comfortable patterns. So I decided to deeply explore what I consider to be the other primary instrument used for songwriting: guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe problem is, I am not a guitar player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLiving and working in Nashville meant I was in “Guitar Town,” where there are guitar players—and there are folks who play guitar. At my best, I am the latter rather than the former. That has never stopped me from picking up the instrument, and I encourage others to explore creative, nontraditional, even “outsider” approaches to using it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhile I still do not consider myself a true guitar player, I genuinely enjoy playing guitar—or at the very least, playing at guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSome of this may be familiar, but hopefully there are a few new ideas as well. Many of these approaches work just as well on acoustic guitar, even though I am focusing on electrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eLet’s jump in—here are ten alternate ways to play guitar, in no \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eparticular order.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recording Magazine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44854005170285,"sku":null,"price":1.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2392\/2951\/files\/RECORDING-Field-Notes---Outsider-Guitar-1.jpg?v=1773785783","url":"https:\/\/recording-magazine.myshopify.com\/products\/recording-field-notes-outsider-guitar-10-creative-nontraditional-guitar-ideas","provider":"Recording Magazine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
