Guitar (explanation)

Sound travels through the air and water. It is the fastest known “thing” in the world. Sound is a vibration, made up of the air molecules surrounding you. Music is the best type of sound. To make music, we use musical instruments. One of the most well known instruments, is the guitar.

There are 6 strings and 12 notes on a guitar. Its kind of pear shaped. On each side of the guitar, there are curves. These curves are there to fit comfortably into the shape of your leg. The other curve is for your arm, so whenever your arm gets tired you can just rest your arm while you're strumming.

When you pick a string on your guitar, you’ll notice that it sounds a bit shaky. Thats because the sound reflects off of the hood of the guitar, and causes a vibration. Also known as, echoes.

Every guitar has a neck. Thats where the metal strings belong. If you place your finger on a fret you’ll notice that the pitch has just changed. The pitch gets higher every time you move your finger up, when you move it down, the pitch will obviously go lower.

I’ve been playing guitar for as long as I can remember. I know how to play about 20+ songs. My dad taught me how to play. He never really told me how the sound is made. So now I can go home and brag about how I knew this before him.
