Re: anyone here play guitar?
yeah man, i play rhythm and vocals in my band, the thing your talking about is called Acoustics.
Think of the way sound travels, it makes spherical waves out from where your guitar is. If you're in a big open space, some of those waves are going to go straight to your ear without bouncing off anything.
On the other hand, if you are indoors in your room, the waves will travel out, bounce off the walls, and then hit new waves coming from your guitar. This causes something called wave cancellation, but the point is, depending on the shape of your room, you will lose a lot of the sound quality.
The reason that studios have cork on their walls is not only to keep the recording room quiet, but also to elminate any bouncing of the sound waves off the walls. If there is no bouncing waves to hit the sound waves that you're presently making, there is no wave cancellation and thus a pure sound.
