greg stephens Acoustic. What does that mean? (61* d) RE: Acoustic. What does that mean? 30 Jul 13


Well it all depends on context. But to me acoustic in general ought to mean unamplified. Music with no obstructions or equipment between source and ear. This is not a moral judgement, nor should it be a source of anger. I play amplified sometimes, acoustically other times. Simple.
I would make an excerption for term acoustic guitar. That is clearly a technical term, distinguishing it from the electric guitar, and it will still be an acoustic guitar if its got a pickup
Unplugged ought to mean unplugged (you might naively think). Though of course it actually means plugged in. That is a curious anomaly.
