Play the acoustic guitar

The acoustic guitar is the classic form of the instrument, with a history spanning 4,000 years. The classic modern design took shape in the Renaissance era. Strings of nylon or steel are stretched over a wooden frame to create the instrument. Like a piano, this is a complete instrument and is often played on its own, but can also be found in bands, ensembles, or accompanying other instrumentalists and singers.
