The Guitar

The Guitar is a beautiful and rich sounding instrument. The modern word “guitar” was adopted into English from Spanish guitarra. The definition of the guitar is a musical instrument which has a flat-back, rounded body that narrows in the middle, a long fretted neck, and usually six strings that are played by strumming or plucking. The guitar is considered a European-invented instrument which first appeared during the medieval period. Then it was modified later on by Antonio Torres Jurado which improved volume, size and tone.  Then the acoustic guitar remained untouched.  How Does the Guitar work? The Guitar has a round hole with the strings over it.  When you play, the string vibrates and sends sound waves through the hole which vibrates in the body of the guitar and makes a sound for the human ear to hear. I love the guitar I have been playing it for 5 years and enjoy learning it.
