Get Out Your Guitar Day is celebrated every year in the United States on February 11. But, today, it has certainly grown to be a global event that is celebrated across the whole world.
This day provides a unique opportunity for the guitar-playing community to come together and celebrate all things guitar-related and inspire future and upcoming guitar aspirants.
There simply happens to be no record of when the first Get Out Your Guitar Day, also known as National Guitar Day, was celebrated.
Ever since the first guitar was created, this instrument had the unique ability to get people pumped up about guitar music. Along the way, this day was celebrated to honor the guitarists who revolutionized music.
Though historical records and the origin of Get Out Your Guitar Day is not mentioned anywhere, playing songs on guitar and its traditions dates back to hundreds of years. While listening to music gives the mind a relaxing and soothing effect, striking a few chords using guitar brings forth inner healing.
With numerous guitars available these days, grab one of your choices and play a song or two that is stuck in your head. The guitar is a very versatile and cool musical instrument that can be played in different styles of your choice. Some of the popular guitar styles that interest guitarists range from hard metal, rock, funk, classical, jazz, and blues.
With music being soothing to the ears, National Guitar Day is the best time to start if you're eager to start playing the guitar. But, first, visit the local guitar or music store and get a quality six strings guitar.
If you have graduated from taking lessons to play the guitar well, dedicate some time to introduce someone to the magic of making music using the guitar.
With numerous guitar talents out there, find out where local guitarists are playing in your area and support them by becoming a part of the show. You never know who they will become in the upcoming years.
Learn how to play the guitar by finding an online source or an instructor for guitar lessons.

Organize a nice music party at home and invite your family and friends to celebrate this day. Make them listen to you playing the guitar and enjoy the cool weather as you strum along to your favorite tunes.
National Guitar Day is all about learning how to play guitar, which can be tough for many who are not familiar with the modern guitar. Learning an instrument like the guitar is time-consuming and takes a lot of effort. Many others want to learn how to play the guitar but can't due to various reasons: not enough time, not enough money, unavailability of a tutor, and more. Apart from this, the disadvantages of celebrating this day are very few. So bring out your guitar if you've got one, and cherish every moment of this day.
