Why is it that a lot of actors also have a knack for learning how to play guitar quickly?

Question

Is is correct? Are acting and guitar playing complementary skills?

Answer 1

In my guess then yes, somewhat. Actors (with talent) have this rather remarkable way of reading a piece of script or monologue once and then reciting it (not just reading it, but being in character just after one read-through). This ability to store or memorize correlate to the talent of knowing the notes or chords of a guitar just after learning it. Hmm I guess this is why?

That being stated i advise you get books made by making use of CVLS they have probable the acceptable guitar books ever. they contain an audio cd so that you'll be able to listen if what you're playing is nice. It breaks down all the steps and is basic to save on with. There also very less expensive 15 funds a pop. desire that facilitates be at liberty to e-mail me once you've anymore questions

Answer 3

I doubt that "theory" completely.

I've been involved in Theater for more than 40 years and have known some Great Actors, who may never have known which end of a Guitar to strum. I've also known Great Guitar players, who were terrible at acting,,,IE: A stage presence.

I believe that anyone who uses their Right Brain, and has developed into creative pursuits, COULD be more likely to expand into other, also creative outlets, but to say definitively what you ask,,, is probably untrue,,, or at the very least, unproven and undocumented.
