Guitars are among the most popular of all music instruments in the world, practically used in
almost all genres of music there is. Whether it's the bass line for the latest rap song hit, or the lead
solo in a jazz fusion piece, guitars could be found resonating their sounds in almost all types of
music there is in the world.
Dating back almost 5000 years ago, the first generation of guitars were used. However, these
ancient guitars didn't exactly resemble the ones we see today, but the basic structure is pretty
much remain the same. Today, guitars come in various types and various classes, the most
common distinction of which would be acoustic and electric guitars. With acoustics, there is the
classical and the steel stringed guitar. For electrics, there is the basic and the archtop.
Now, there are actually more guitar types, but these stand out as the most popular. Between all
the mentioned guitar types, the classical guitar would be the perfect one for bringing the classical
music genre to life. This is because it has a softer, more endearing sound.
The classical guitar is basically an acoustic guitar designed for plucking and strumming. Classicals
could be hooked up to an amplifier by way of pick up systems, if you're looking to perform in front
of larger audiences.
The physical differences between steel stringed acoustic guitars and classical guitars is that the
classicals have a wider neck, allowing for more finger placements for chords and other playing
improvisations. The strings on classical guitars are nylon, while from steel stringed acoustic
guitars, which obviously, use steel strings. The nylon strings make for more comfortable use, and
the resonating sound results to more softer tones, which makes classical guitars perfect for the
rendition of classical pieces.
When talking about all guitars in general, one thing to remember is that there is no rules in guitar
playing that indicates that classical pieces could only be played using a classical guitar. Classical
pieces can also be played on acoustic steel strings, or even electric guitars. The nature of the
sound produced by classical guitars could also be used for various musical genres. However, they
are the perfect type to be used to get that fantastic sound for classical music.
