About Guitar
- Standard guitar has 6 strings, with this tuning convention:
E - A - D - g - b - e
It starts from the top, the lowest pitch, the bass. - The first string is the highest pitched string, the bottom one. And the lowest pitch is the sixth string, the top string.
- When playing standard guitar, the guitar neck is placed on the left, and the body of the guitar is on the right. So your right hand strums/plucks/picks the strings, and the left hand is the "notes gripper".
For left-handed guitar, it's the opposite. - There are other common tuning sequence for 6-stringed guitar, like drop D or an actual chord tuning.
- The 12-stringed guitar has the same tuning as standard guitar. But each bass string is "mirrored" using two octaves higher note, usually. And the last 3 strings have "mirror" notes (double the same note). It's great to get wider sound and longer sustain than standard guitar. It's totally sweet.
- The 7-stringed guitar has one additional lowest note, that is B. It's mostly used in macho-angry music. But of course, it can also be used for playing a calming music. It's multi-purpose. Like, to hit a ball.
Other guitar designs which placed a lot of strings on the instrument have their own unique tuning convention.
It usually depends on the person who ordered the design.
The stringed instrument (guitar for instance) maker/repairer/engine-er is called Luthier, literally a lute-er.
It's from French, luth (lute) and English, -er.
An experienced luthier usually knows a lot about Physics, especially the acoustical, mechanical, and electrical parts of a particular "lute". - Guitar usually has frets. The one without them is called fretless guitar.
- Also, conventional guitar has two types of strings: nylon and steel.
- The last, there are electric, acoustic, acoustic-electric, and synthesizer guitars.There are modern guitars which do experiments with unorthodox system for neck/body/string builds for their designs. Plus the microtonal frets, more like fretless but not really.
