Having playing guitar for over a decade I am used to every sound that have to go with them. One particular is my amp which I have had for roughly 6 years. Always makes a distinct sound when I turn it on. This sound still sounds the same as the first day I got my amp, so I’ve grown up with this sound getting used to it. A few more sounds from playing guitar that I love are ‘harmonics’ which are notes that are played by just touching the string and when you pluck the string at the same time you release your slight press on the string. This is in my opinion of the most beautiful sounds that you can make with the guitar. Every harmonic note is the same note but each has a different texture or timbre depending on which guitar you play them on. It depends on the wood of the guitar, how worn the strings/guitar are, the shape of the guitar etc.
Another sound or combination of sounds that has to do with guitars is the set up of a rehearsal or practice session. The tuning of the guitars, setting up of the amps, testing the sound levels and the jamming before any real practice starts. Everyone in the practice session starts jamming on their own and in time everyone will just join in one big jam session before we do any real practice or rehearsal. It brings me back memories of when I was in a band in high school practising every few days or so, it brings me back to the ‘think tank’ room that we used to practice in.
