The guitar strings are plucked with the fingers and fingernails, or you use a small pick made of thin plastic. This type of pick is called a "plectrum" or guitar pick. The left hand holds the neck of the guitar while the fingers pluck the strings. Different finger positions on the fret board make different notes.

The guitar was made around 4000 years ago by a Neapolitan man named Gaetano Vinaccia. Before the development of the electric guitar and the use of synthetic materials, a guitar was defined as being an instrument having "a long, fretted neck, flat wooden soundboard, ribs, and a flat back, most often with incurved sides".

The guitar is a string instrument of the chordophone family. There are five different instruments in this family. These instruments are Bass Guitars, Charangos, Guitars, Nonstandard Guitars and Ukuleles.
