1465 - String driven thing

I recently had a strap put on my
Old acoustic guitar, and now I can
Practice standing up, which I couldn’t try
Before. The best performers often stand
Though classical ones rarely do; their hands
Are so busy I guess they have to sit
And see the fretboard; the audience demands
No errors in that genre, but to complete
Each piece precisely. In jazz and rock it
Is easier because the hands can fly
Anywhere and even bum notes can stand
As an experimental kind of art
As though you’re too good to play normally
But acoustics weed out the charlatan
