Guitars

This week we return to our music hurumanu, for these periods of our hurumanu we happen to have a very special guest. That being Mr Mitchell, Mr Mitchell [a teacher here in our school] knows quite a bit about music, he happens to be a guitarist and so he now helped us to learn more about guitars. He brought with him several kinds of guitars, an electric, two acoustic guitars and a backpack guitar. Mr Mitchell played several pieces, he also gave us knowledge about several chords and different ways to play the guitars as well.

Acoustic Guitar - Dreadnought - the dreadnaught is one of the most common guitars that you might see, it doesn't need an amplifier, though amplifiers can be used as well. The sizes differentiate according to teh size of the person playing it, however, most are just in the average size just right for the average-sized person. Normally acoustics can be used for country, bluegrass and rock/pop.

Electric Guitar - There are many different styles of electric guitars, but most are designed for style; as stated in the name, electric guitars are meant to be plugged in an amplifier. Though could be used without, playing an electric guitar without an amplifier would sound quite quiet; as there is no soundhole like as of the acoustics. They produce a 'crisp' sound a more rock on sound, ironically it is commonly used in rock, heavy metal as well as pop.

Acoustic -  Backpack -  Cutaway - Backpack and Cutaway guitars are both from the family of Acoustics; Cutaways are slightly different from a Dreadnought as the design allows players of Cutaway guitars to go down the guitar easier than the Dreadnought. Backpack guitars look quite different from the common guitars as it is meant to be carried easier as it is smaller than the more common sized guitars.
