The Guitarist Tunes Up

As a musician's point of view, I could see how a musician would related their instrument kind of like seducing a woman. I can definitely relate because I play piano and with any instrument the player can't force it, but simply go with it. A person playing an instrument knows that it isn't "conquering" but instead wooing the instrument like a woman. The musician is able to relish in the beautiful sounds of the instrument, but only by being patient listening, such as how the author compares this to seducing a woman. A musician must listen to the instrument first to make sure it is in tune, and kind of test the waters before actually going all out and playing. This is compared to listening to what a woman has to say, and showing interest in what she is saying. The author sees playing the guitar as sort of an art and that there is a passion behind it just like love. The musician must have a relationship with the instrument that they are playing.
