It’s gorgeous, can move around, and can be used for various performances.
Some of the reasons why guitars seem to be popular are that they are glamorous and can move around and perform in various ways, and that if you can play the guitar, you feel a gap compared to other instruments.

However, many people seem to think that it was good to be able to play an instrument.

The days when classical guitar was popular are long gone
In the days of the guitar boom, classical guitars were popular if you could play them, and if you had one, you were popular just for having one.
Unfortunately, I didn’t play guitar in that era, and I don’t feel that I was popular because I could play guitar.
You may have the image of being popular, but I feel that if you play guitar for the purpose of being popular, you are likely to end up disappointed.
But as the survey showed, being able to play the guitar can certainly give you a different sense of fulfillment.
I think it’s recommended as a long and enjoyable experience and I wish more people would pick it up.
