For example, ukulele, lute, viola, etc. Since the tuning of the strings they constitute is not EADGBE, and the number of strings is not six, it is not a guitar. In fact, the "ten-string guitar" is still a six-string guitar, because the additional four strings are the auxiliary strings of the six-string, not the constituent strings. Constituent strings refer to the adjacent intervals between the strings being greater than or equal to third, and the most common are fourth and fifth. This is most conducive to arranging multi-voice fingerings in it. The auxiliary string is to make the lowest-pitched constituent string continue to expand to a lower scale to form a complete low-pitched harmony. The interval between the strings is a major second or a minor second, regardless of the relationship. Great for building chord fingerings in. Guitars can be roughly divided into three types according to different structures and sounding principles: acoustic guitar (folk/fingerstyle guitar, flamenco guitar), electric guitar (such as standard electric guitar and bass electric guitar) and classical 6-string guitar (classical guitar) kind.

The electric guitar is a product of the development of science and technology. An ordinary guitar plus pickups, effects, speakers and other accessories is an electric guitar. Electric guitars are mainly used for filling in the middle part, filling in, and interludes in electroacoustic bands. , sometimes playing the lead role. Its sounding principle is different from that of traditional guitars. It does not produce sound based on the vibration of the body, but uses the principle of electromagnetism. Its body is a solid wood rather than an empty speaker. There are coils on the body of the instrument. They are called pickups. When the guitar strings vibrate, they cut the magnetic lines of the pickup, causing currents of different frequencies to be generated in the wires in the guitar body. When these currents are restored through the electronic speakers, they become the sound of the electric guitar.
