| | Air guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Air guitar is generally used in the imaginary simulation of loud electric guitar music, especially rock, heavy metal, and so on. | | | Although it is acceptable to play air guitar to acoustic songs, it is an act traditionally left to rock. | | | Air guitar is the act of pretending to play guitar, consisting of an exaggerated strumming motion and often coupled with loud singing or lip-synching. |

| | The legendary Rebecca Nichols is arguably the greatest Air Guitar player to have lived and her untimely passing at the age of 32 of a heart attack brought on by over-exertion during an awesome performance of the Ritchie Blackmore guitar solo in Deep Purple's Child in Time in the late 1970's shocked the Rock nation. | | | Air guitars are similar in shape to normal guitars, with the notable difference that they are made entirely out of air. | | | Uses of the air guitar vary as to a) what music is intended to be played on it, and b) the audience which it is being played in front of. |

| | For the uninitiated, air guitar is the art of pretending to play along to a rock solo or a chord sequence with nothing but an imaginary guitar and the appropriate facial expressions. | | | "The guitar solo hasn't been held in such high esteem since punk and garage rock, but I don't think it should be frowned upon," he says. | | | "What air guitar is all about is to surrender to the music without having an actual instrument," says championship organiser Martika Lamberg. |

| | Halfbakery: Compressed Air Guitar |
| | The air in the guitar would be compressed for a greater volume of air, driving the speaker for a louder if not unique sound. | | | A reinforced acoustic guitar with a speaker-type membrane in place of the sound hole. | | | A helium-filled guitar would certainly sound different from an air-filled guitar because it would resonate differently, just as my basswood-bodied Casio guitar sounds different from my acrylic-bodied AXL or my maple-bodied Burns or my mahogany-bodied Epiphone; the materials have different densities so they have different effects on the sound. |

| | The art of air guitar is traced back to the 1960s when breathtaking electric guitar solos by bands such as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin inspired teenagers throughout the world grab their tennis rackets and mime their idols. | | | Explained the organisers: "The air guitar philosophy is that all the bad things in the world will vanish, if everybody in the world plays the air guitar." | | | But this, as they say, was the real thing -- before a live audience of 3,000, mostly Finnish -- as air guitar came out of teenagers' bedrooms and onto the world stage. |
