A guitar is a musical instrument with a distinctive shape and a distinctive sound. The best way to learn how a guitar produces its sound is to start by understanding all of the different parts that make up the instrument.

A guitar can be divided into three main parts:

The Body
The Neck which holds the frets (protruding bars along the neck that create different tones and pitches when the strings are pressed between them).
The head, which contains the tuning pegs
The pick is used to create a strumming or picking sound without using your fingers.
