Did you know that Guitar is a musical instrument of the lute family, having a flat, waisted body with a round sound-hole and a fretted neck along which run six strings. The strings are fastened at the top of the neck to tuning screws, and at the other end to a bridge glued to the instrument's soundboard, or belly. The top three strings are usually made of gut or nylon; the others are metal-wound strings. The strings are tuned E A d g b e1 (E = second E below middle C; e1 = E above middle C). The player's left-hand fingers stop the strings at the appropriate frets to produce the desired pitches; the right-hand fingers pluck the strings. Some metal-strung guitars are plucked with a small flat plectrum, or pick.
