Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Nown Phrase 134. The noun phrase today is air guitar.
-
Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If someone, especially a young person is
-
playing air guitar, he or she is pretending to play an imaginary guitar.
-
often to rock music. Yeah. So they don't really have a guitar in the hand. They just go (rock guitar noises )
-
like you know, kind of like that with a guitar.
-
to whatever song it is that they like. And it's often copying the body language of
-
a particular or imagined guitarist. I mean you know, maybe somebody that they
-
have in mind that they like and they are kind of copying them. Or just any sort of
-
rock guitarist in general. If someone is playing air guitar, he or she may hum the
-
music or play pre-recorded ... maybe they played the song in the background. Music
-
in the background while pretending to play. So they're really getting into the
-
music. (electric guitar sounds) You know something like that. This noun first appeared in the 1980s. Probably
-
due to many young fans literally pretending to mimic. Meaning, meaning to
-
copy some of their favorite rock guitarists, especially heavy metal. Yeah.
-
You know, the heavy metal ones they always use the you know, like shake their
-
heads back and forth like that ( More guitar sounds) some something along that line. Tom Cruise, so here's examples here. Tom
-
Cruise first got noticed in an old movie called "Risky Business" in which he had a
-
scene that he played some air guitar in his underwear and you know, that was his
-
first big movie that he got noticed. I think he did make a few smaller sort of
-
teenage movies before this. But this was the one that got him noticed and then
-
his career you know started going in a... and in a bigger direction. All right. Number
-
two here. He likes to turn the music up loud and play air guitar by himself in
-
his room. So you know , a lot especially a lot of
-
young teenagers may do this. Or number three here. Every time that song comes on,
-
he will play air guitar to it. He just cannot help himself. So yeah , and you
-
might still see a lot of young people do this every now and then when they're
-
really getting into the music. So of course it's called an air guitar because
-
that really is no guitar there. You're just pretending like it's a guitar.
-
You're making the body language like it's a guitar. Anyway, I hope you got it.
-
I hope it is clear. I hope it was informative. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
