3 Top Ways a 12 String Electric Guitar Can Help You Find a Girlfriend
People play guitars so they can pick up chicks. But a 12 string electric guitar probably isn’t the first option people think of when it comes to sexy instruments.
Below are three reasons why 12 string guitars might just be the quickest way to impress a girl with your guitar playing.
Twelve string electric guitar advantage No. 1 Volume
Ever been jamming on stage with your band, and you spot this hot girl in the back. You’d love to get her attention, so you start wailing on your geetar.
Unfortunately, your rhythm section is drowning you out. Your drummer is banging on his kit like he’s doing construction and your bassist think he’s John Paul Jones. (He’s not.)
Well, 12 strings are perfect for this scenario. With that natural chorus effect, you don’t have to crank up the volume and lose fidelity. You can just keep playing, maintaining a good sound, while impressing that indie chick in the back.
Twelve string electric guitar advantage No. 2 Originality
Feel weird playing the guitar Roger McGuinn made famous. Think again?
Girls like guys who are willing to be different and put themselves out there. What better way to do that than plug in a 12 string guitar?
With their large body-and unconventional tuning engines-12 strings just look exotic.
Twelve string electric guitar advantage No.3 Level of Difficulty
Don’t believe their hard to play. Just try tuning them.
As my old guitar teacher used to say. It’s easy to play a guitar…badly. But to play them well is a whole other kettle of fish.
This is never more true than with a 12 string guitar, especially the electric kind.
Being able to play a 12 string, well, is probably the most impressive thing you can do.
And girls do like impressive things.
