The Guitar Playing Man

Let's hear it for this fellow

He sure deserves a hand

Without him, there is nothing he's essential to the band

Plays his cords with great control

Strums his melody

Deep within his very soul, performs for you and me

Acoustic

Electric

Whatever is required

Their versions sound so different

They play how they're inspired

Strum their six-string instrument, their one and only feat

They stand alone all by themselves to make the sound complete

The men who play the six-string do so with finesse

They're talented musicians whom God did surely bless

They play their cherished instruments with confidence and ease

There's never any effort

Their souls make it a breeze

Clapton

Jimmy Hendrix, two of many greats

Stevie Ray Vaughn

Jimmy Page, the guy from Dire Straits

So many other legends, all with their own sound

This much I can say for sure, they'll always be around

Music wouldn't be the same if they did not exist

The very greats who passed away forever will be missed

Without them there is nothing, they're essential to the band

How about a round of hands for 

The guitar-playing man.
