-LEARNING TO USE THESE PARTS-

 

 

 

 

 

    -First we need to look at the tuning pegs found at the top of the guitar and how these work. The guitar is usually put into standard tuning, meaning that the strings from top to bottom are tuned to an E A D G B and E. this is called "standard" tuning. there are many different forms of tuning, but this is the most common.

 

 

   -Running down the neck of the guitar are the strings. Going down the neck of the guitar, you'll find what are called frets. A guitar usually has about 15 frets, but this varies on the type of the guitar, some have many more. Each fret is responsible for playing a different note. And when played together, forms what is called a chord.

 

-IDENTIFYING THE PARTS OF THE GUITAR-

 

 

 

1. Whether you're playing an electric or an acoustic guitar, the instrument is essentially wood and metal. Copper-wound strings vibrate to create sound. The wooden body amplifies those sounds to create the tone that we associate with guitar.

 

 

     -The strings run between the headstock of the guitar, where they are attached to tuning pegs which can be rotated to tighten or slacken them, and the bridge where they're fixed to the guitars body. On an acoustic guitar, the strings are fixed to the bridge with removable pegs, and on an electric guitar the strings are generally strung through an eyelet.

 

     -The neck of the guitar is the long piece of wood, flat on one side (called the fretboard) and curved on the other. The fretboard is inlaid with metal frets that show the different notes.

 

     -An acoustic guitar will have a sound hole in the middle of the body where the sound will resonate, where an electric guitar can have as many as three magnetic pickup which will channel the sound through an amplifier.
