What is a Guitar?
The guitar is a
hugely popular and widely played stringed musical instrument.
There are different
varieties of Guitars available including Soft, Folk & Jazz etc. Guitars can
be amplified to produce the sound of an electric guitar.
The most recognizable features of a guitar include -
* a flat body
* a long neck
* usually 6 strings
* a fingerboard with frets on it
The guitar strings are plucked using the fingers or a plectrum, also known
as the guitar pick.
The plectrum or the guitar pick is usually a small piece of plastic
shaped as a soft triangle. The left hand presses the strings on the fret
board while the right hand fingers are used to pluck the strings of the
guitar. The vibration of the strings creates sounds and is controlled by the
left hand that presses at the fret board. The combination of the left and
right hand at play on the guitar leads to the creation of different sounds
which when clubbed together, produce melodies and tunes.
