The guitar
is my favourite instrument and I bet you will like it after I read this.
Guitar History
Gaetano Vinaccia
invented the first ever guitar and Gaetano family were also known for crafting
mandolins but Gaetano wanted to try something new. The first ever guitar was very small and it
only had four strings just like a ukulele.
The guitar originated in Spain and became popular in the 16th and 17th
centuries. What really amazed me was
that the guitar has been played for at least 3,000 years! The oldest surviving guitar-like instrument
was found in Ancient Egypt.
Back in the days
rock bands and other bands used at least three or more guitars just for the
different tune!
About the Guitar
The first
thing you need to know before you go and play a guitar are the different parts: The head also known as the head stock, the tuners,
the nut, the neck, fret board, frets, body, the sound hole, the bridge and last
but not least the strings the things that make the music all happen.
The tuning of the guitar
Why should
we have to tune the guitar? If you don’t
tune the guitar the strings will get too lose and they will sound too deep or
too high. The strings will react to the
temperature of a room. If you tuned the guitar in a warm room and went outside
and it was cold the guitar would slightly untune so then you would have to tune
again.
I hope you've enjoyed learning about the guitar - there's a lot more to it than strumming.
