It is a member of the chordophone family of instruments. The modern guitar was preceded by other similar instruments including the lute, vihuela, renaissance guitar and baroque guitar. Over the development of the guitar many different numbers of strings and were tried, however today almost universally it uses 6 strings. The musical tones are produced by the plucking or strumming of the strings, wherein a vibration is induced, this vibration is then amplified by the body of the guitar which acts as a resonance chamber. The classical guitar is most often played with a fingerpicking technique. Alastair Lewis is a native of The Republic of South Africa.
