GUITAR!!!!

         Many people all over the world own guitars and know how to play them. (Let it be known that this is being written by someone who does not own a guitar and kind of ,but does not know how to "professionally" play a guitar.) I used to have a little guitar when I was like 5 years old, but I have no idea what happened to that little guitar. Technically,I actually CAN play the guitar. I mean , if there was a guitar somewhere,I might try to play it and it might even sound professional. Like one time ,one of my friends left their guitar in the same place that I was at. At first ,I was scared that they would come back , see me with the guitar ,and get mad at me , but they never arrived back in time to actually know if anyone had touched their guitar.       

The definition of  "guitar" is a musical instrument usually with 6 strings plucked with the fingers or a plectrum.
There is not necessarily one universal guitar.Because when people think about guitars,different types of guitars come to mind. Acoustic, electric, electro-acoustic, twelve-string, arch top, steel guitar,resonator, double-neck, bass , mandolin, banjo,and el cuatro-these are several of the many types of guitars that are in the world.

 This is a BEAUTIFUL golden-colored guitar!           This is an AWESOME glow-in-the-dark mandolin!!

 

 

As you can see , guitars are extremely popular. If they were not, then nobody would bother to spend so much money on them. I am definitely a fan of the guitar and I really wish I could own one(like that glow-in- the-dark one) to learn how to play it. Until then , I will just have to play the air guitar like everyone else that cannot afford a guitar. They jam out to an invisible guitar when they hear one of their favorite songs,lol.
