The guitar


I will present you a musical instrument that I like to play: the guitar. It is a string instrument usually played with fingers or with a pick. There are two primary families of guitar: acoustic  and electric guitar.

An acoustic guitar has a wood body. The sound is produced by the vibration of the strings and the body is a resonating chamber.

An electric guitar is normally connected to an amplifier. With the amplifier, you can electronically change the tone to get different sounds.

Guitars are recognized as the primary instrument in many genres like blues, bluegrass, country, flamenco, jazz, jota, mariachi, metal, reggae, rock, soul, and many forms of pop.
