Get the Guitarmug. sometimes used in art (like picasso paintings) guitars have influenced music since the beginning of the western world. closely related to a predecessor, the lute, guitars consist of 6,7,or 12 strings (i once saw a 42 string guitar..it was nuts) as far as acoustic guitars go, the best acoustic money can buy is either a C.F. Martin, or a Takamine. As far as electrics go: Fender, Gibson, or Paul Reed Smith (PRS) the strings are strummed or plucked either with the bare fingers or a plectrum (pick) to create a pleasing array of tonal masterpieces.
For a really cool painting, check out Picasso's "Le Vieux Guitariste" ("The Old Guitarist"). It's from his blue period.

Get the Guitarmug. Normally six-stringed, a guitar is extremely easy to play and master, so most (if not all) guitar players are musically illiterate. Being unable to read notes on a five-line staff, guitar players instead invent tabulature, which basically shows exactly where to play the notes.
It is worthy to note that people with no musical knowledge whatsoever can still play the music written by supposedly professional "artists", which says a lot about modern music. No random faggot would be able to play the works of Mozart or Beethoven.
Some versions of guitar even use electricity, these guitars sound even worse than their acoustic counterparts and even waste resources. In my opinion the people who made electric guitars deserve to be hanged.

Guitar player: OMG I can strum along to this Metallica song I'm so good!
Me: What note is that you just played?
Guitar player: Uh, I don't know.
Me: What key is the song in?
Guitar player: Wtf is a key?
Me: What's the time signature?
Guitar player: ...
Me: You call yourself a fucking musician?
Me: What note is that you just played?

Get the guitarmug. 1. An stringed instrument consisting of 6, 7, or 12 strings (most commonly these, though there are rarer variations) derived from the lute. The guitar is traditionally tuned in perfect fourths, excluding the B to G string interval, which is a major third. Guitars are amplified either through resonance of a hollow or semi-hollow body (which, contrary to popular belief, does not require a soundhole) or the use of magnetic pickups which in turn send an electronic signal to a guitar amplifier. Guitar is found in almost every style of modern music imaginable, and some older European world music as well. Guitar has common applications in jazz, rock, blues, metal, classical, ska, punk, alternative, pop, reggae, funk, and countless other musical (and in some cases, nonmusical) stylings.
2. An instrument which can either be used for good or evil.
Good-In the hands of one pure of heart, the guitar becomes a living, breathing, extension of himself. Through countless hours of practice, studying one's theory, and tapping into his or her own musical center, the guitarist becomes adept at playing and can inspire any emotion in a listener with a single lick.
Evil-In the hands of a corrupt heart, the guitar is a terrible thing to behold. Though it is an unfortunate thing, guitar is mostly used for evil nowadays. An evil guitarist will usually not take time to learn to play, and will use the guitar mainly to try and get girls to like him or play senseless excuses for music with 2 power chords to further propogate the evil music movements we have now.
