The fipple or block is a wooden plug found at the mouth of the instrument. This plug constricts the air as the player blows into the end of the instrument. There are holes for seven fingers, with the lower one or two often doubled to facilitate the production of semi-tones. There is also a hole for the thumb of the uppermost hand. The guitar is a musical instrument constructed from wood, and strung with either nylon or steel strings. 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. Source / Web : | meastros-of-the-guitar | | |||||
