5 reasons why you should take Guitar Lessons

 

Taking guitar lessons is one of the definitions of coolness. It is a known fact that musicians are often more popular and seen as more attractive; this is especially true in regards to guitar players. Israeli research demonstrated this theory by sending 100 friend requests from the Facebook account of an attractive guy, in 50 of the 100 requests the same guy was holding a guitar. The number of women accepting the friend request was much higher when he was holding the guitar. Aside from the coolness of it all, there are, of course, a number of other reasons why taking guitar lessons is a great idea, you can read our top 5 here:

3. Pain Relief

Music is a medically proven, very effective pain relief which according to certain studies,  interferes with the signals before they even reach the brain.
