Lets Begin week 1 with the basic parts of the guitar.
There are two types of guitar, the first one is acoustic. We will start with it first.


Now as you see in the picture the acoustic guitar has many parts, but don't worry if you don't remember them in 10 minutes, its easier if you learn them over time because you'll find you can recall them easier.

OK, lets start at the top. First we have the head of the guitar, then we move down a little and you see the tuning keys. The tuning keys are pretty self-explanatory, they tune the strings on your guitar. If we move down we come to the nut. Now if you look at the nut you will see it has six grooves in it; those grooves hold the six strings in place on your acoustic guitar. Lets keep moving downward. We now come to the frets. These will come in handy when I teach you how to read tabs. Basically what the frets are for is to keep your barrings when your playing. Next is the finger board, the part that you play on. And then the neck is where the fingerboard, frets, and nut are all located. Now we come to the body, it's the part where most of the sound is generated from. As we move down we come to the sound hole. This is where the sound resonates when you play the strings. Move a little further down and we are at the strings, The things you pluck to make sound loll. Continue to move down and we see the bridge, now the bridge is what holds the strings on. And finally we see the pin, This is to hold your strap on.



OK now that we have talked about the Acoustic guitar lets move to the Electric!
Now as you see below the electric and acoustic guitar are very similar in parts but they both have a different sounds and they have a few different parts, lets check it out!
OK, Now you see the head, tuning pegs, nut, fret, fretboard, and neck are the same as the acoustic, they do the same thing. Now if we move down a little we come to the neck pickup, middle pick up, and the bridge pickup. Now these are different on different guitars it just depends what kind you have. The general purpose for these is to pick up the sound from the strings and the bridge. If you continue to move down we see the bridge, the body, and the pin, all of these do the same thing they do on the acoustic. Now as we come around we see the output jack, this is where you hook your electric guitar up to an amp; now some acoustic guitars come with these too. Keep coming around and we get to the volume and tone knobs, these control the volume in you guitar and the the tone quality. As we move on we see the selector switch, what this does is let you switch between about 4-5 different kinds of guitars. (depending on what guitar you have) Finally we come to the whammy bar, the purpose for this is for the effect similar to vibrato. When you hook your guitar up to an amp and play something you wiggle it back and forth (different speeds sounds different) you get a vibrato sound. When attaching this in to a new guitar it should be really loose you don't want it to be tight or else it will break (I learned from experience)

And there you have it! All the parts to the Acoustic and Electric guitar! Please feel free to donate and thank you for reading!
