Music - Guitar



Before I tell you more about guitar, let us take a look at the history of it first. Before the development of the electric guitar and the use of synthetic materials, it was defined as being an instrument having "a long, fretted neck, flat wooden soundboard, ribs, and a flat back, most often with incurved sides".  The term is used to refer to a number of instruments that were developed and used across Europe, beginning in the 12th century and, later, in the Americas. Modern chordophones are the descendants of long lines of instruments that go back several thousand years to those of ancient Central Asia and India. For this reason, modern western chordophones, like the guitar, the violin, the lute and others, are distantly related to the modern instruments of Central Asia and India, including the tanbur, the setar and the sitar. (source : Wikipedia).



Above are the two types of guitar which are Acoustic and Electric. Acoustic guitars are several notable subcategories within the acoustic guitar group: classical and flamenco guitars; steel-string guitars, which include the flat-topped, or "folk," guitar; twelve-string guitars; and the arched-top guitar. On the other hand, Electric guitars can have solid, semi-hollow, or hollow bodies, and produce little sound without amplification. Now that you know the type of it, let us get to know among the greatest professional guitar player in the world.
