Guitar
The musical instrument- guitar is a fretted musical instrument,usually contains six strings.It is typically played with both hands by strumming or plucking the strings with either a guitar pick or fingers/fingernails of one hand,while simultaneously fretting with the fingers of other hand.The sound of vibrating strings is projected either acoustically ,by means of the hollow chamber of the guitar or through electric amplifier or a speaker
There are three main types of modern acoustic guitars: the classical guitar,the steel-string acoustic guitar and the archtop guitar,which is sometimes called “jazz guitar”.
The electric guitars can have solid ,semi hollow or hollow bodies,solid bodies produce little sound with amplification. The electromagnetic picups converts the vibration of the steel strings into signals which are fed to an amplifier through a patch cable.
