I love playing the acoustic guitar. The sound comes from the vibration of the strings, without any amplification
I used to own an acoustic guitar. I loved to sit outside and play it.
I agree, it's so fun to pluck the strings or strum them with a pick to produce sound
Thats true. I liked to use a pick.
The first guitars were called gitterns in the Middle Ages
That's really cool. I bet they looked a lot different.
Yeah we haven't seen modern shaped guitars until the Renaissance
Wow, that was a long time ago.
Acoustic guitar
An acoustic guitar is a guitar that produces sound acoustically by transmitting the vibration of the strings to the air—as opposed to relying on electronic amplification (see electric guitar). The sound waves from the strings of an acoustic guitar resonate through the guitar's body, creating sound. This typically involves the use of a sound board and a sound box to strengthen the vibrations of the strings. In standard tuning the guitar's six strings are tuned (low to high) E A D G B E.
Silent guitar
A silent guitar is a type of guitar with a solid or chambered body that converts the vibration of the strings into electric current using a piezoelectric pickup. The body of the guitar does not amplify the vibration of the strings into audible sound. Thanks to this, musicians can practice with headphones without disturbing people around them, or obtain an acoustic tone under heavy amplification without feedback. Las Vegas Academy has used silent guitars in a classroom setting, with students wearing headphones to hear their instrument's sound.
