Guitar :
The guitar is a popular musical instrument classified as
a string instrument with anywhere from 4 to 18 strings,
usually having 6. The sound is projected either acoustically
or through electrical amplification.
It is typically played by strumming or plucking the strings
with the right hand while fretting (or pressing against the fret)
the strings with the left hand.
The guitar is a type of chordophone,
traditionally constructed from wood and strung with either gut,
nylon or steel strings and distinguished from other
chordophones by its construction and tuning.
The modern guitar was preceded by thegittern,
the vihuela, the four-course Renaissance guitar,
and the five-course baroque guitar, all of which contributed
to the development of the modern six-string instrument.
Electric guitars, introduced in the 1930s, use an amplifier
that can electronically manipulate and shape the tone.
Early amplified guitars employed a hollow body,
but a solid body was eventually found more suitable,
as it was less prone to feedback.
Electric guitars have had a continuing profound
influence on popular culture.
The guitar is used in a wide variety of musical genres worldwide.
It is recognized as a primary instrument in genres such as blues,
bluegrass, country, flamenco, folk,jazz, jota, mariachi,
metal, punk, reggae, rock, soul, and many forms of pop.
Bass Guitar
The bass guitar is a stringed instrument played
primarily with the fingers or thumb, by plucking,
slapping, popping, strumming, tapping, thumping,
or picking with a plectrum, often known as a pick.
The bass guitar is similar in appearance and construction
to an electric guitar, but with a longer neck and scale length,
and four to six strings or courses.
The four-string bass, by far the most common,
is usually tuned the same as the double bass,
which corresponds to pitches one octave lower
than the four lowest pitched strings of a guitar (E, A, D, and G).
The bass guitar is a transposing instrument,
as it is notated in bass clef an octave higher than it
sounds to avoid excessive ledger lines.
Like the electric guitar, the bass guitar is plugged
into an amplifier and speaker for live performances.
In the 1930s, musician and inventor Paul Tutmarc from
Seattle, Washington, who was manufacturing lap steel guitars,
developed the first electric string bass in its modern form,
a fretted instrument designed to be played horizontally.
Drum:
The drum is a member of the percussion group of musical
instruments. In the Hornbostel-Sachs classification system,
it is a membranophone. Drums consist of at least one membrane,
called a drumhead or drum skin, that is stretched over a shell and
struck, either directly with the player's hands, or with a drum stick,
to produce sound. There is usually a resonance head on the
underside of the drum, typically tuned to a slightly lower pitch than
the top drumhead. Other techniques have been used to cause
drums to make sound, such as the thumb roll.
Drums are the world's oldest and most ubiquitous musical
instruments, and the basic design has remained virtually
unchanged for thousands of years.
Drums may be played individually, with the player using a single
drum, and some drums such as the djembe are almost always
played in this way. Others are normally played in a set of two or
more, all played by the one player, such as bongo drums and
timpani. A number of different drums together with cymbals
form the basic modern drum kit.
