Discovering
guitars
The guitar is a popular musical instrument classified as a string
instrument with anywhere from 4 to 18 strings, usually having 6. The sound is
projected either acoustically or through electrical amplification (for an
acoustic guitar or an electric guitar, respectively). It is typically played by
strumming or plucking the strings with the right hand while fretting (or
pressing against the fret) the strings with the left hand. The guitar is a type
of chordophone, traditionally constructed from wood and strung with either gut,
nylon or steel strings and distinguished from other chordophones by its
construction and tuning.
Electric
guitars, introduced in the 1930s, use an amplifier that can electronically
manipulate and shape the tone. Early amplified guitars employed a hollow body,
but a solid body was eventually found more suitable, as it was less prone to
feedback. Electric guitars have had a continuing profound influence on popular
culture.The guitar is used in a wide variety of musical genres worldwide. It is
recognized as a primary instrument in genres such as blues, bluegrass, country,
flamenco, folk, jazz, jota, mariachi, metal, punk, reggae, rock, soul, and many
forms of pop. (Wikipedia - Search for Guitar)
