Guitar

Guitar is a stringed instrument, typically with six strings, that produces sound through the vibration of its strings sound. The sound is created by plucking the strings with the fingers or with a small pick called a "plectrum." When the strings vibrate, the sound resonates within the guitar's hollow body, or in electric guitars, it is amplified through specialized components.

Guitars are divided into three main categories based on their construction: acoustic, classical, and electric.

• Classical guitar produces a soft and warm tone using nylon strings.
• Acoustic guitar has a brighter and louder tone due to its steel strings.
• Electric guitar operates using magnetic pickups that convert string vibrations into electrical signals for amplification.
