Sign in to saveThe guitar is a stringed musical instrument that is usually fretted (with some exceptions) and typically has six or twelve strings. It is usually held flat against the player's body and played by strumming or plucking the strings with the dominant hand, while simultaneously pressing selected strings against frets with the fingers of the opposite hand. A guitar pick may also be used to strike the strings. The sound of the guitar is projected either acoustically, by means of a resonant hollow chamber on the guitar, or amplified by an electronic pickup and an amplifier.
A guitar is a stringed instrument typically featuring six or twelve strings that you hold against your body and play by strumming or plucking the strings while pressing them against frets with your fingers. It matters because it's a versatile instrument whose sound can be produced acoustically through a hollow chamber or amplified electronically, making it widely adaptable to different musical styles and settings.
