B. Types of guitarUsefulness of the guitar amplifier has not been used at this time. Amplification was introduced to the guitar "Dobro" / Resonator guitar Dopyera started by brothers, Slovak immigrants in America. They found the material innovation on the guitar when the guitar is made of metal material and added metal plates (Pie Plate) with a certain thickness will increase the resonant voice that 2 times 2 times larger and louder voice. This type of guitar is manufactured to be played with the orchestra and the music became very popular in the 1920s and 1930s among the Blues and Jazz musicians.Later on during World War 2 the basic ingredients guitar "Dobro" was changed to wood, to replace the metal that is very expensive, only resonatornya are still using metal material.

Les Paul was the first to experiment with an electric guitar sound at around 1940. The first electric guitar was a hollow-body / guitar hollow, sometimes in the form of two fruit-shaped sound hole S-Shaped at the front of the guitar body. In 1947 Paul Bigsby worked with Merle Travis to design solid-body electric guitar like a guitar that we know today. A radio repairman Leo Fender was the first to successfully mass producing guitars of this type. So there is competition between a Fender guitar with a Les Paul Gibson guitars made to date.
There are two common types of guitars that we know are:The Pick Guitar and The Finger-Style Guitar.
I. The Guitar PickThe Pick guitar is played by strumming the strings with a pick, a pick which is shaped like a flattened round fruit Almond made from turtle shell or plastic.The difference is the guitar of this type there are 2 pieces shaped sound hole S-Shaped at the front of the guitar body.

Then the pickup is connected to the loudspeaker. The Pick Guitar and Electric Guitar is the most commonly used in Jazz music, dance bands and rock groups.
In general, the guitar has six strings; then came the guitar with 12 strings which is more commonly used in the country music scene. In the decade of the 50's, appeared with two guitar neck (fretboard); a one stringed stringed 6 and only 12 (as is often used by John McLaughlin). Then came the guitar strings 7 (as they are commonly worn by Bucky Pizzarelli), even there are also guitar strings 10. Electric guitar and growing; Solid-Body (as noted above without the sound resonance, until completely electrically sound) type of hollow-body guitars and semi-hollowed. This type of electric guitar like that commonly used in the arena of rock music / pop. Any type of electric guitar continues with the use of various kinds of sound effects.
Part of the Electric GuitarGuitar that we know in this day and age has a kind and diverse forms. But we will discuss this time is the essence of the guitar parts.
II. The Finger-Style GuitarThe Finger-Style Guitar played by plucking strings with fingers. Strings strings are made of Nylon, silk and wire. This guitar sound has a loop hole. The fingerboard has such Frets Guitar Pick but more broadly. Many works from the classical masters, including Bach and Chopin, has arranged for guitar.
