With a Guitar...

Several days ago when I entered the lounge at our hostel, I heard good music being played.
The music was played by this guy.

He is our guest from Chile.
He was playing the guitar well.
At A-yado there is a common guitar in the lounge.


I said to him, "Do you play the guitar often?"
Surprisingly he answered, "No, usually I don't play the guitar."


He told me that he was a contrabassist.
He was playing the guitar instead of contrabass in order not to make his playing skill rusty.


Though guitar has six strings and contrabass has four, he said, "It is interesting that they have some things in common."
Actually I do not know well about musical instruments, so I have no idea how different they are.
Anyway it is great that he played the guitar well.
I admired  his musical talent.


We welcome traveling musicians although the guitar is the only instrument we have.
