What a guitar can do!
A guitar can do almost everything a keyboard can do, that is why there is philosophy that says there is every tendency that you can play a keyboard if you are good at playing the guitar. They are of the same basis.
Playing of chords on the guitar is also the same with that of the keyboard
A guitar can solo a song exactly how the original song is
It can be used to make funny sounds, e.g the Nokia sound we all know is a product of the guitar
It can be used for game sound etc.
