Favorite instrument

The guitar is a fretted musical instrument that typically has six strings. It is 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 plectrum or individual finger picks may be used to strike the strings. The sound of the guitar is projected either acoustically, by means of a resonant chamber on the instrument, or amplified by an electronic pickup and an amplifier.

There are three main types of modern guitar: the classical guitar (Spanish guitar/nylon-string guitar); the steel-string acoustic guitar or electric guitar; and the Hawaiian guitar (played across the player's lap). Traditional acoustic guitars include the flat top guitar (typically with a large sound hole) or an arch-top guitar, which is sometimes called a "jazz guitar". The tone of an acoustic guitar is produced by the strings' vibration, amplified by the hollow body of the guitar, which acts as a resonating chamber. The classical Spanish guitar is often played as a solo instrument using a comprehensive finger style technique where each string is plucked individually by the player's fingers, as opposed to being strummed. The term "finger-picking" can also refer to a specific tradition of folk, blues, bluegrass, and country guitar playing in the United States.

I like to play classical guitar the most. I learned about classical and flamenco guitar from the general class. I love the sound that comes when playing classical guitar.



By the 16th century, the guitar tuning of ADGBE had already been adopted in Western culture; a lower E was later added on the bottom as a sixth string.[29] The result, known as "standard tuning", has the strings tuned from a low E, to a high E, traversing a two-octave range—EADGBE. This tuning is a series of ascending fourths (and a single major third) from low to high.[29] The reason for ascending fourths is to accommodate four fingers on four frets up a scale before moving to the next string. This is musically convenient and physically comfortable and it eased the transition between fingering chords and playing scales.[29] If the tuning contained all perfect fourths, the range would end up being two octaves plus one semitone;[30] the high string would be an F, a dissonant half-step from the low E and much out of place.

I think you could get some explanation about the guitar.Guitar playing is an art. Nowadays both men and women are more interested in playing the guitar. Knowledge of chords is essential in playing the guitar.There are many types of guitars today: acoustic guitar, bass guitar, 12 strings guitar, electric bass guitar, seven strings and eight string guitar, classical guitar, steel guitar.  The guitar is often used in viewing as well.So try to play the guitar yourself. It will undoubtedly be a separate art.
