instrument made by God himself and that none of the bands of today can play any good. All of today's bands are full of bitches who cut themselves and cry about their girfriend leavin them like My Chemical Romance. The instrument that people like Jimi Hendrix and other guitarist from his time mastered
Whoa guitarists in famous bands of today suck at guitar unlike bands from a while ago like Metallica.

The guitar is a device used for making music. It works when the player strums on the strings with his right hand, and presses them upon "frets" with his left hand. Most guitars have 6 strings, but some folk musicians use a 12 string, and some metal heads prefer a 7-string with an extra bass string added. It is more proper to call them wires, since they are often made of metal, in non-classical situations.
The coolest guitar relies on electricity to take the sound waves through a series of effect boxes and a loudspeaker called the "Amp." The sound comes through the amp, not the guitar itself. It is called "electric guitar", and the unique combination of mechanical strings and electrical pulses allows for the sound to be distorted to any crunch, wah, buzz, twang, and other sound not obtainable on a conventional instrument, but horrible sounding on a synthesizer. It does produce natural string vibrations which can be heard from a yard away, but they are horrible and lousy.
The acoustic guitar is an older, more boring instrument, which exchanges the power for a fatter, but hollow body with a "sound hole". This makes the instrument nerdy and gay, and it can only make one type of sound. But what is lost is perceived coolness and flexibility is made up for in a lower energy bill. Besides, you want to show the over-30s that you are a good kid that isn't afraid to be true to himself?

I bought a rare 20-string guitar.
Jimi Hendrix and all punk, jazz, and rock bands were players ofthe Electric Guitar. Jimmy Page was a god.
Tom Chapin is a dried up children's folksinger who plays Acoustic Guitar.

The Resonator Guitar is losing its fanbase, as old men are dying, if not, becoming too uncoordinated to play it.

BASIC INFO- the guitar is a plucked string instrument that can be played with fingers or with a pick. usually, the guitar has 6 strings. although, there are others that can come in 7 string, 12 string, and 4 string, to name a few.
TYPES- obviously, there is the ACCOUSTIC GUITAR- wich has a sound hole, that when played, noise vibrates out the hole. and the ELECTRIC GUITAR- that when played, the noise comes out of an amp. But, there are also many more types of guitars, to name a few, RUSSIAN GUITAR- a seven string accoustic usually tuned to open g major. TENOR GUITAR- a slightly smaller four string guitar that is tuned to fifths.
TUNING- the common guitar tuning (standard tuning) is EADGBE, for a slightly heavier sound (used lots in grunge) you can go with D#/E♭ tuning. (half a step down) it is used by bands like, nirvana, green day, guns N' roses, van halen, jimi hendrix, and alice in chains. and if you really wanna fuck up your sound, you can bring your guitar ALL the way down to octave tuning. at this point in tuning, you might as well buy a bass guitar.

A stringed instrument that greats like Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, and John Frusciante play or played extremely well.
1. You'll never be as good as John, he practices like 17 hours a day. A.K.A. Jesus.
2. Mike Einziger could come close.
3. Santana is the Holy Spirit of guitar.
4. Hendrix is god.

Thirteen-year-old: Hey Youtube, here's my own rendition of Hey There Delilah for all you lonely ladies out there.

Person watching video: I think my penis just shrank
