Why the Guitar is Better than the Violin
May. 24th, 2011 11:44 pm1. You can practice quietly which is great when travelling or late at night. Yes, you can put a mute on a violin, but the volume is still loud.
2. You can easily drink coffee or beer with one hand while practicing.
3. There are plenty of female violinists, but female guitarists are rare. If you want to attract male attention, go into a guitar store. There might be a stray girl tagging along with her boyfriend, but you will probably be the only woman in the place.
4. Instruments and accessories are a lot cheaper. I haven't figured out why, but it may be due to economies of scale--there are hordes of amateur guitarists out there and not so many amateur violinists.
5. No violin hickey on your neck. :D
