From what I've seen, a guitar is a much more capable instrument than say, a flute. The problem is that society will label someone who can sing along with chord progressions on a guitar as a musical genius. >_>

Yeah. That's why it's not a real instrument, because a real instrument takes skill.

I very much like the sound of acoustic guitar, especially classical guitar.

Wouldn't it be better to blame the society then? Like always.
In Finnish hunting culture it is common for hunters to shoot everything that moves, sometimes even themselves.

So much wrong.
So very much wrong.
So much wrong I can't even handle it.

You can find people who are horrible at any instrument, but that doesn't make it any less musical. I don't see you calling piano "not good enough to be a musical instrument", even though people are equally as impressed with people who can play/sing along to chord changes on it (if not more so).

...oh, and did I mention "wrong"?

Yes, but I'm afraid guitars are far to wide-spread and common that their sound has past their used-by-date, hence why they're not a musical instrument. Would really call nails on a chalk board, music?

Do I really need to add, "imo"?

Guitars are the best thing ever.

First of all, I think the main problem is that you're assuming that "musical instrument" is a subjective term. It is not. It is a defined term with defined characteristics. Second, if an instrument being widespread and common makes it not a musical instrument, again, we're gonna have to exclude piano, as well.

No, but I would call what is arguably the most stylistically versatile harmonic instrument music. Either your opinion is far too rigid on this, or your listening far too limited. Go listen to some classical guitar. Some jazz solos. Some good rock.

I love this, because in a sense, it could be. Music is defined as "Audible Art", and "Art" is anything that moves you. If you were moved by the chalk board concertino, than it is music! xD
