Jazz Guitar Information

The start of a page for guitar information with specific focus on jazz guitar and jazz guitarists

gtr_acoustic.pngGuitar - The guitar is a stringed musical instrument. It is generally played with the fingers of the left hand[1]. The right hand plucks the strings with either the fingers or a plectrum, (guitar pick). The sound is produced by vibrating strings, which in turn resonate the body and neck.

Guitars have a body (hollow in acoustic guitars, solid in most electric guitars) and a neck. Typically, a headstock extends from the neck for tuning.

Guitars may be acoustic, electric (i.e. with electrical amplification) or both.

Guitars are used in a variety of musical styles. They are made and repaired by luthiers.

Guitars are widely known as the primary instrument in rock music.

Guitar prices range from a few dollars for cheap plastic toy ones up to a thousands of dollars for custom built guitars by the best luthiers around the world, using the best woods in the world. Everyone should have at least one guitar.

The guitar IS the most popular instrument in the world with sales exceding 1 billion dollars a year.
