Read More »Us guitarists, when ploughing raw emotion into a solo, are really just frustrated singers. Trying to express yourself without using your voice or indeed the lyrical content to convey the emotion of what you are singing about is naturally going to be expressed elsewhere; in your body and, moreover, your face.
It might be considered that, despite the reasons above, players have always adopted the famous guitar face for the benefit of their audience. It is true that we all pull our best grimaces when performing! Perhaps it is the heightened emotion state of live performance, the additional concentration and pressure to get things right, or simply the need to entertain by showing the audience that you are truly lost in the music, which gets us squashy cheeked and baring our teeth. A bit like the old question - ‘Does a falling tree make a noise if nobody is around to hear it?’; do players affect guitar faces when they aren’t being watched? The chances are you and many players are unaware if you are doing ‘guitar face’ when playing alone. Yes, you can fake this, but it so easy to spot when a guitarist is not pulling a genuine guitar face. The tell is easy - the face doesn’t match the emotion or playing! Kinda like watching non guitarists play ‘air guitar’ - instantly mimicking those big lick guitar faces, unconvincingly.
