The guitar is a fretted, stringed musical instrument. Guitars are used in a wide variety of musical styles, and are also widely known as a solo classical instrument. They are most recognized in popular culture as the primary instrument in blues, country, and rock music. The guitar usually has six strings, but guitars with seven, eight (usually used in rock or heavy metal music), and 12 strings (usually used in folk music) are also found.
Usage
Guitar strings are strung parallel to the neck, whose surface is covered by the fingerboard (fretboard). By depressing a string against the fingerboard, the effective length of the string can be altered, which in turn changes the frequency at which the string will vibrate when plucked. Guitarists typically use one hand to pluck the strings and the other to depress the strings against the fingerboard.The hand with which one strums or plucks the strings determines handedness (left or right).The strings may be plucked using either fingers or a plectrum (Guitar pick).The sound of the guitar is achieved either mechanically or electronically, forming two main categories of guitar: acoustic (mechanical amplification) and electric (electronic amplification).
