Guitar


The guitar is a plucked stringed musical instrument that originated in Spain in the early 16th century. It is a versatile instrument that has become an integral part of popular music. The guitar is usually amplified in popular music, and ensembles frequently include more than one instrument, a ‘lead’ guitar for solos, another for rhythm, and a ‘bass’ guitar to play bass lines.

 

There are several types of guitars, including acoustic, electric, and classical guitars. Acoustic guitars are the most common type of guitar and are used in many different genres of music. They have a hollow body that amplifies the sound produced by the strings. Electric guitars have a solid body and use pickups to convert the vibrations of the strings into an electrical signal that can be amplified. Classical guitars are similar to acoustic guitars but have nylon strings instead of steel strings.

Western Classical Music

  Western classical music is a broad term that encompasses the art music of the Western world, which is distinct from Western folk music or popular music traditions. It is often characterized by formality and complexity in its musical form and harmonic organization. The earliest extant music manuscripts date from the Carolingian Empire (800–888), around the time which Western plainchant gradually unified into what is termed Gregorian chant. The Baroque period (1580–1750) saw the relative standardization of common-practice tonality, as well as the increasing importance of musical instruments, which grew into ensembles of considerable size. The Classical period (1750–1820) saw the development of sonata form and the symphony orchestra. The Romantic period (1815–1910) saw an emphasis on emotion and individualism, as well as a greater use of programmatic music. The 20th century saw a wide range of styles, including serialism, neoclassicism, and minimalism.
