The
guitar is a musical instrument with ancient roots that is used
in a wide variety of musical styles. It typically has six strings
(see below), twelve string guitars
also exist and simply produce a much fuller sound. Acoustic Bass
guitars are also widely used in today's music industry and have
4 strings.
Guitars
are recognized as one of the primary instruments for song writers
and their origination of material. Guitars may be played acoustically,
where the tone is produced by vibration of the strings and modulated
by the hollow body, or they may be fitted with a pick up system
(Electro Acoustics )
which when connected to an acoustic amplifier
can electronically manipulate tone.
Electric
guitars
are normally solid body which need to be used in conjunction with
an amplifier as there is little or no sound produced without.
