An observation while playing with pure sine wave tones — a simple G cord doesn't sound all that great. Actually, it sounds fake and fabricated.

There is a subtly that we all take for granted and enjoy are the very complex sounds that an instrument makes. Especially a nonelectric type — an acoustic instrument.

For example: the frequency distribution of a guitar is very broad and complex. It is the broad spectrum and complexity that makes it appealing.

It’s all about those harmonic overtones.
