About the Guitar

Acoustic guitars have been played for about a thousand years. The guitar is a plucked string instrument, usually played with fingers or a pick. It is made up of a body with a firm neck and it normally has six strings attached. This instrument makes a sound by the vibration of the strings and the body makes the sound louder by acting as an echoing chamber. It can often be played as a solo instrument, or as part of a band. It is a very versatile instrument and can be heard in jazz, blues, rock and even pop music. To play the guitar requires a good fingerpicking technique.
