Guitar Guide

The guitar is a musical instrument with ancient roots that is used in a wide variety of musical styles. It typically has six strings, but four, seven, eight, ten, and twelve string guitars also exist.

Guitars are recognized as one of the primary instruments in blues, country, flamenco, rock music, and many forms of pop. There is also a solo classical instrument. Guitars may be played acoustically, where the tone is produced by vibration of the strings and modulated by the hollow body, or they may rely on an amplifier that can electronically manipulate tone. Such electric guitars were introduced in the 20th century and continue to have a profound influence on popular culture.

Traditionally guitars have usually been constructed of combinations of various woods and strung with animal gut, or more recently, with either nylon or steel strings. Guitars are made and repaired by luthiers.

A guitar pick is a type of plectrum designed for use on a guitar. They are usually composed of plastic, most commonly nylon, and most often take the shape of an acute isosceles triangle with the two equal corners very rounded and the acute corner rounded but not as much.

Guitar picks come in varying thicknesses to accomodate the different playing styles and kinds of strings; thinner picks are more flexible and tend to offer a wider range of sounds, from soft to loud, while thicker picks are less flexible and are more difficult to play any way other than loud.
