href="/wiki/Musical_instrument" title="Musical instrument">musical instrument</a> in the string family. When a string is plucked, its vibration is transmitted from the bridge, resonating throughout the top of the guitar. It is also transmitted to the side and back of the instrument, resonating through the air in the body, and producing sound from the sound hole.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> While the original, general term for this stringed instrument is <i><a href="/wiki/Guitar" title="Guitar">guitar</a></i>, the <a href="/wiki/Retronym" title="Retronym">retronym</a> 'acoustic guitar' – often used to indicate the <a href="/wiki/Steel-string_acoustic_guitar" title="Steel-string acoustic guitar">steel stringed</a> model – distinguishes it from an <a href="/wiki/Electric_guitar" title="Electric guitar">electric guitar</a>, which relies on electronic amplification. Typically, a guitar's body is a <a href="/wiki/Sound_box" title="Sound box">sound box</a>, of which the top side serves as a <a href="/wiki/Sound_board_(music)" title="Sound board (music)">sound board</a> that enhances the vibration sounds of the strings.

(<a href="/wiki/Overtone" title="Overtone">Overtones</a> are also present, closely related to <a href="/wiki/Harmonic" title="Harmonic">harmonics</a> of the fundamental pitch.) The string causes the soundboard and the air enclosed by the sound box to vibrate.

Vihuelas were string instruments that were commonly seen in the 16th century during the <a href="/wiki/The_Renaissance" class="mw-redirect" title="The Renaissance">Renaissance</a>. Later, Spanish writers distinguished these instruments into two categories of vihuelas. The vihuela de arco was an instrument that mimicked the violin, and the vihuela de Penola was played with a <a href="/wiki/Plectrum" title="Plectrum">plectrum</a> or by hand. When it was played by hand it was known as the vihuela de mano. Vihuela de mano shared extreme similarities with the Renaissance guitar as it used hand movement at the sound hole or sound chamber of the instrument to create music.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>By 1790 only six-course vihuela guitars (six unison-tuned pairs of strings) were being created and had become the main type and model of guitar used in Spain. Most of the older 5-course guitars were still in use but were also being modified to a six-coursed acoustical guitar. Fernando Ferandiere's<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> book <i>Arte de tocar la Guitarra Española por Música</i> (Madrid, 1799) describes the standard Spanish guitar from his time as an instrument with seventeen frets and six courses with the first two 'gut' strings tuned in unison called the <i>terceras</i> and the tuning named to 'G' of the two strings. The acoustic guitar at this time began to take the shape familiar in the modern acoustic guitar.

The air in a guitar's cavity resonates with the vibrational modes of the string and soundboard. At low frequencies, which depend on the size of the box, the chamber acts like a <a href="/wiki/Helmholtz_resonance" title="Helmholtz resonance">Helmholtz resonator</a>, increasing or decreasing the volume of the sound again depending on whether the air in the box moves in phase or out of phase with the strings.

This coupling is most efficient because here the impedance matching is perfect: it is air pushing air. </p><p>A guitar has several sound coupling modes: string to soundboard, soundboard to cavity air, and both soundboard and cavity air to outside air. The back of the guitar also vibrates to some degree, driven by air in the cavity and mechanical coupling to the rest of the guitar. The guitar—as an acoustic system—colors the sound by the way it generates and emphasizes harmonics, and how it couples this energy to the surrounding air (which ultimately is what we perceive as loudness). Improved coupling, however, comes costing decay time, since the string's energy is more efficiently transmitted. Solid body electric guitars (with no soundboard at all) produce very low volume, but tend to have long sustain. </p><p>All these complex air coupling interactions, and the resonant properties of the panels themselves, are a key reason that different guitars have different tonal qualities.

A range shape typically has a rounded back to improve projection for the smaller body. The smaller body and scale length make the range guitar an option for players who struggle with larger body guitars. </p><p><b>Parlor</b> – <a href="/wiki/Parlor_guitar" title="Parlor guitar">Parlor guitars</a> have small compact bodies and have been described as "punchy" sounding with a delicate tone.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It normally has 12 open frets. The smaller body makes the parlor a more comfortable option for players who find large body guitars uncomfortable. </p><p><b>Grand Concert</b> – This mid-sized body shape is not as deep as other full-size guitars, but has a full waist. Because of the smaller body, grand concert guitars have a more controlled overtone and are often used for their sound projection when recording. </p><p><b>Auditorium</b> – Similar in dimensions to the <a href="/wiki/Dreadnought_(guitar_type)" title="Dreadnought (guitar type)">dreadnought</a> body shape, but with a much more pronounced waist. This general body shape is also sometimes referred to as an "Orchestra" style guitar depending on the manufacturer.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The shifting of the waist provides different tones to stand out. The auditorium body shape is a newer body when compared to the other shapes such as dreadnought. </p><p><b><a href="/wiki/Dreadnought_(guitar_type)" title="Dreadnought (guitar type)">Dreadnought</a></b> – This is the classic guitar body shape. The style was designed by <a href="/wiki/Martin_Guitars" class="mw-redirect" title="Martin Guitars">Martin Guitars</a> to produce a deeper sound than "classic"-style guitars, with very resonant bass. The body is large and the waist of the guitar is not as pronounced as the auditorium and grand concert bodies. There are many Dreadnought variants produced, one of the most notable being the Gibson J-45. </p><p><b>Jumbo</b> – The largest standard guitar body shape found on acoustic guitars. Jumbo is bigger than an Auditorium but similarly proportioned, and is generally designed to provide a deep tone similar to a dreadnought's. It was designed by Gibson to compete with the dreadnought, but with maximum resonant space for greater volume and sustain. The foremost example of the style is the <a href="/wiki/Gibson_J-200" title="Gibson J-200">Gibson J-200</a>, but like the dreadnought, most guitar manufacturers have at least one jumbo model. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Playing_techniques">Playing techniques</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Acoustic_guitar&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Playing techniques"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The acoustic guitar is played in a variety of different genres and musical styles, with each featuring different playing techniques.
