The Guitar
The guitar is a musical instrument with ancient roots that is used in a wide variety of musical styles. It typically has six strings but four, seven, eight, ten and twelve string guitars also exist. Guitars are recognized as one of the primary instruments in blues, country, flamenco, rock music and many forms of pop. There is also a solo classical instrument. Guitars may be played acoustically, where the tone is produced by vibration of the strings and modulated by the hollow body or they may rely on an amplifier that can electronically manipulate tone. Such electric guitars were introduced in the 20th century and continue to have a profound influence on popular culture. Select this link to view our Gold and Cream Ornaments.
Traditionally guitars have been constructed of combinations of woods and strung with animal gut or more recently with either nylon or steel strings. Select this link to view our Gold and Red Ornaments.
Guitars can be constructed to meet the demands of both left and right handed players. Traditionally the dominant hand is assigned the task of plucking or strumming the strings. For the majority of people this entails using the right had. This is because musical expression, dynamics, tonal expression and color are largely determined by the plucking hand, while the fretting hand is assigned the lesser mechanical task of depressing and gripping the strings. This is similar to the convention of the violin family of instruments where the right hand controls the bow. Select this link to view our Santa Ornaments.
