February 14, 2010 12:59 pm ArtsThe lesson’s that are being provided in Guitar Wanker.com are designed to be used with any type of guitar, whether it’s an acoustic steel-string, a nylon-string classical or an electric. Any of the guitars mentioned can be adapted for use in a wide variety of styles of music. Regardless of the type of guitar that you are holding in your hands, they all share these common parts.
The basic Anatomy Of The Guitar
The top of the guitar is called the “headstock”; this is the part of the guitar which attaches to the “neck” of the instrument. On the headstock are “tuners”, these are used to adjust the pitch of each of the strings on the guitar. At the point in which the headstock meets the neck of the guitar, you’ll find the “nut”, a small piece of material in which small grooves are carved out to guide the strings up to the tuners. The neck of the guitar is where all the “MAGIC” happens!! This is the area in which you put together a bunch of notes, and potentially write or learn new songs.
