"I love guitar playing".split.each{|s| s.capitalize}.join(" ")

does not work because #capitalize does not modify the original; it gives 
you a copy. Map/collect really collects these copies, #each does not. 
However

"I love guitar playing".split.each{|s| s.capitalize!}.join(" ")

Does work, because the self-modifying #capitalize! is available. 
Personally I'm starting to prefer #map , also because of this:

a = (1..9).map{|n| n*n}

#versus my old way

a = [] #annoying
(1..9).each{|n| a<<n*n}
