i like playing guitar as much as the next girl but it is actually really interesting how the idiosyncracies of a very specific moment in American pop cultural history has sort of concretized for some people its like place as an absolutely necessary and transcendental instrument is completely fabricated. Like it’s something that came about as a particularly U.S. phenomenon (or else it could have been the accordion) of a specific time (or it could have been the banjo).
