Subject: RE: Is the guitar a traditional instrument?
Orac, you say "A lot of unaccompaied singers are not capable maintaining any rhythm to a melody and consequently ruin the song."

A lot of unaccompanied singers deliberately vary the rhythm to add emphasis to certain sections of the song.

Such a song can be spoiled if a guitar player joins in and tries to turn it into a dance.
