Playing The Guitar Is Attractive - Survey

Playing the guitar can instantly make a person more attractive, a new study has revealed.

The research, conducted by eBay.co.uk, was carried out to try and discover the attractiveness factor that goes along with someone who can play the musical instrument.

Of those who took part in the poll, nine in 10 admitted that they find someone who can play the guitar to be "instantly sexy", with 25% openly admitting they will date someone purely because they can play the instrument.

Perhaps not surprisingly, both men and women said playing the guitar instantly makes someone more attractive to the opposite sex, but it is men who will go out of their way to learn how to play the instrument in order to impress a female.

In fact, 33% of men in Britain admitted trying to impress a girl by learning how to play the guitar; which is probably a good idea, as one in 10 women, aged between 18 and 24, said guitar-playing skills in a man are a "must".

Some 54% of Scottish women said they were attracted to the "whole rock star thing" when men play the guitar, while 45% of women in Cambridge said guitar players are hot because they are "good with their hands".

Elsewhere, 57% of respondents said they love it "when someone is passionate about music", while 42% love the "sensitive side" it brings out in a person who can "write songs and music".

The survey also asked about the greatest guitarists of all time, with Jimi Hendrix and Joni Mitchell claiming the top male and female player spots, respectively. Hendrix's 'All Along The Watchtower', 'Wonderwall' by Oasis, and Led Zepplin's 'Stairway To Heaven', also topped the list for the best tunes with which to serenade a loved one.

A spokesperson for eBay commented: "The nation has confirmed that the pulling power of [the] guitar is here to stay."
