What is a Guitar?

A guitar is a musical instrument that you can play to make beautiful sounds. It has a long neck and a round body, which is often made of wood. You can see it has strings on it, usually six of them, that you can strum with your fingers or use a pick, which is a small tool that helps you play the strings.

Parts of a Guitar

A guitar has several important parts:

• Body: The big, round part that you can see. It helps make the sound loud.
• Neck: The long part of the guitar where you put your fingers to play different notes.
• Strings: The thin lines that make the music when you pluck or strum them.
• Headstock: The top part where the strings are held tight so they can make sounds.

How Does a Guitar Make Sound?

When you strum or pluck the strings, they vibrate. This means they shake back and forth really fast! The body of the guitar helps to make those sounds loud so that everyone can hear the music. Depending on how you play the strings, you can make different notes and chords, which together create a song!
