Guitar :
The guitar is a popular musical instrument classified as
a string instrument with anywhere from 4 to 18 strings,
usually having 6. The sound is projected either acoustically
or through electrical amplification.
It is typically played by strumming or plucking the strings
with the right hand while fretting (or pressing against the fret)
the strings with the left hand.
The guitar is a type of chordophone,
traditionally constructed from wood and strung with either gut,
nylon or steel strings and distinguished from other
chordophones by its construction and tuning.
The modern guitar was preceded by thegittern,
the vihuela, the four-course Renaissance guitar,
and the five-course baroque guitar, all of which contributed
to the development of the modern six-string instrument.
Electric guitars, introduced in the 1930s, use an amplifier
that can electronically manipulate and shape the tone.
Early amplified guitars employed a hollow body,
but a solid body was eventually found more suitable,
as it was less prone to feedback.
Electric guitars have had a continuing profound
influence on popular culture.
The guitar is used in a wide variety of musical genres worldwide.
It is recognized as a primary instrument in genres such as blues,
bluegrass, country, flamenco, folk,jazz, jota, mariachi,
metal, punk, reggae, rock, soul, and many forms of pop.
Cello:
The cello or violoncello is a bowed string instrument with four
strings tuned in perfect fifths.
It is a member of the violin family of musical instruments, which also includes the violin and viola.
The cello is used as a solo musical instrument, as well as in chamber music ensembles,
string orchestras, as a member of the string section of
symphony orchestras, and some rock bands. It is the
second-largest bowed string instrument in the modern
symphony orchestra, the double bass being the largest.
Cellos were derived from other mid- to large-sized bowed
instruments in the 16th century, such as the viola da gamba,
and the generally smaller and squarer viola da braccio,
and such instruments made by members of the Amati family
of luthiers.
Cello parts are generally written in the bass clef,
but both tenor and treble clefs are used for higher-range parts.
A person who plays the cello is called a cellist or violoncellist.
