1. TYPES OF GUITARS
Many people divide guitars into electric and “ordinary ones,” not realizing that classical and acoustic guitars are hidden behind those, and these are two different instruments, despite the external similarity. Let's get it clear.
THE CLASSICAL GUITAR
The classical guitar is usually used to play classical music, Spanish music, Flamenco, and Bossa Nova, or in accompaniments for songs and romances.
The classical guitar is using nylon strings! Do not use metal ones because the guitar body will not withstand the load, and the instrument will be damaged. It may happen because the top soundboard is made thin and sensitive in order to amplify the sound of nylon strings, as nylon itself does not produce a bright sound.
The body of the guitar has a classic shape and size. Almost always, open-type tuning pegs are installed. It has a wide neck. This means that the distance between the strings is large, which makes it convenient to produce the sound. The frets are straight. The strings are threaded through the holes in the bridge and tied.
The sound is produced with the fingers. The pick is almost never used. Nylon strings are easy for a beginner to press against the fretboard, but this should not be a criterion in choosing an instrument. What matters is the music you want to play.
THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR
The acoustic guitar is your choice if you are attracted to pop, rock, jazz, folk, country, and blues.
Metal strings are used on the acoustic guitar. The top soundboard is reinforced in order to withstand the tension of such strings. In comparison to nylon, the metal strings sound much brighter. The guitar's body may be larger than that of a classical one. There are several standard shapes for acoustic guitars. The closed-type pegs are usually used on this type of guitar. The neck is narrower than on a classical guitar. The frets are rounded. Its neck is, in general, more similar to an electric guitar’s. The strings on the bridge are lowered into pin holes, passed through the body of the guitar, and secured with special pins.
When playing the acoustic guitar, a pick is often used. Therefore, on some models, you can find a pickguard right underneath the rosette to help protect the body from being damaged.
THE ELECTRIC GUITAR
The electric guitar is also used in modern music.
Without going into too much detail, let's outline the common features of electric guitars:
- Metal strings
- Solid-body
- The shapes and sizes may vary
- The pegs are of a closed type
- The neck is similar to an acoustic guitar’s
- Bridges may also differ from one guitar to another
- The main thing is that the sound is produced by magnetic pickups
Any guitar can be used in the MUSICABINET lessons. However, if you are a beginner, we recommend starting with a classical guitar.
