	Guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Guitars usually have six strings, although there are variations on this, the most common being a twelve-string guitar; the seven string guitar; the ukulele, which has four strings; and the bass guitar, which usually has four strings but also exists in five, six, eight, and twelve-string versions.
		The main purpose of the bridge on an acoustic guitar is to transfer the vibration from the strings to the soundboard, which vibrates the air inside of the guitar, thereby amplifying the sound produced by the strings.
		Archtop guitars were immediately adopted upon their release by both jazz and country musicians and have remained particularly popular in jazz music, usually using thicker strings (higher guaged round wound and flat wound) than acoustic guitars.

		Acoustic bass guitars also have steel strings, and match the tuning of the electric bass, which is likewise similar to the traditional double bass viol, the "big bass", a staple of string orchestras and bluegrass bands alike.
		There are several subcategories within the acoustic guitar group: classical and flamenco guitars, both of which use nylon and composite strings, and steel string guitars, which includes the flat top, or "folk" guitar, the closely related twelve string guitar, and the arch top guitar.
		Archtop guitars are steel string, acoustic instruments which feature a violin-inspired design in which the top and back of the instrument are carved in a curved rather than a flat shape.

	Dobro and Non-Pedal Steel Guitar Players, Tunings and Techniques
		The advantage of open G for the standard guitarist switching to steel guitar is that strings 4,3,2 are exactly the same as standard guitar tuning, which helps give you bearings on the new note layout.
		This page deals with dobro, a generic term for 6 or 8 string acoustic resophonic guitar, not to be confused with the brand name Dobro currently owned by Gibson Guitars; and non-pedal steel electric guitar, anywhere from 6 to 12 strings, 6 or 8 being the most common.
		Like standard guitar, the touch used on the electric is generally lighter than the touch used on acoustic, due to the lighter string gauges.

	StartUp Steel
		Fender pedal steels are phenomenal sounding guitars but--the older ones are cable operated rather than rod driven and are 8 string instruments--these are not really recommended as a primary instrument unless you inherited one, it fell off a truck, or you just can't live without that sound.
		The birth of the modern Pedal Steel Guitar occurred when someone (Bud Isaacs in particular but no doubt many others in their living rooms) used the sound of bending the string with the pedal as a musical sound.
		There are more starting steel guitarists who started with Mavericks, got inspired and frustrated and went on to higher level steel guitars than there are starting steel guitarists who started with a Maverick, got frustrated, and quit.

	Pedal Steel Guitar
		The pitch of the string therefore can be altered by means of moving the bar or, in the case of the Pedal Steel, by pressing a pedal or moving a knee lever which in turn stretches or loosens the string.
		A pedal steel guitar for those who don't know, evolved from the Hawaiian guitar, the slide guitar, the Dobro, the electric lap steel guitar.
		With several strings and usually multiple necks, the strings are "fretted" with a steel bar.

	Harmos Steel Guitars: Robert Randolph, Sacred Steel, Calvin Cooke, Marcus Randolph, Campbell brothers, Chuck Campbell, Darick Campbell
		Since the first Harmos prototype was unveiled at the 2001 Sacred Steel convention, we have been very fortunate to be able to work with many in that community to develop the Sacred Steel guitar, one that supports the powerful rhythmic and vocal style of steel guitar music performed there.
		It was his desire to have a fixed string steel that he could strap on quickly and perform with standing up and moving around (as only he can).
		Because the Harmos is not a Supro, it doesn't sound identical but it does have a very in your face steel guitar sound, if you can imagine the supro with a mix of classic pedal steel in there.

	guitar anatomy
		The raw acoustics of the electric guitar aren't quite as interesting as the acoustic guitars (although you may be interested in Dan Russell's work); the body is essentially a good-looking hunk of wood to counterbalance the weight of the neck and to keep the strings vibrating a longer time.
		Nylon guitars usually have rather rounded bodies and the neck joins the body at half the effective string length (12th fret).
		Note that guitar terminology is by no means fixed or completely standardised---The soundboard is often called the 'top-plate', and the sides are often called the 'ribs', for instance.

	Pedal steel guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The lap steel guitar and the dobro are usually played in similar fashion in that they are laid horizontally and the string's pitch is controlled by a slide or bar rather than by pressing them to frets.
		The lap steel, dobro (often played with a steel or slide) and pedal steel guitars are most closely associated with country music, country swing and bluegrass, although some players have used them in jazz, blues, jùjú, a form of music from Nigeria, Africa that uses pedal steel extensively and other musical genres.
		A Concerto for Pedal Steel Guitar and Orchestra has been written by Los Angeles composer Michael A. Levine [3][4] It was premiered on April 16th, 2005, in a performance by the Nashville Chamber Orchestra[5], and with Gary Morse[6] (of Dierks Bentley and Dwight Yoakam's bands) as soloist, and Paul Gambill[7] as conductor.

		The steel guitar was introduced to church services by Willie Eason in the late 1930's.

	Seven-String Guitar
		For a nylon-string guitar, Breau discovered a particular brand of fishing line effective, but to avoid breakage on steel-string he either had to tune down or employ a custom-built instrument with a shorter-than-usual scale-length.
		Usually the extra string extends the pitch range on the bass side, tuned to a low B or A. Unfortunately, this low of a pitch at the usual scale-length of a guitar begins to become "muddy"-sounding, owing to increased inharmonicity.
		An extra string on your guitar can extend your harmonic capabilities.

	Kika Kila - Hawaiian Steel Guitar
		Both are played with a steel bar; however, the tuning of each string of the non-pedal guitar is fixed while it is being played, while the tuning on many of the strings on the pedal steel guitar can be changed with a system of pedals and linkages while the guitar is being played.
		Steel guitar = a guitar (kika) with strings raised above the fretboard played with a steel bar (kila) manipulated with the left hand.
		Over the more than one hundred years that have passed since its inception, the guitar has evolved into two basic types, 1) the original Hawaiian style or non-pedal and 2) the instrument most identified with American country music, the pedal steel guitar.

		"The electric guitar is a totally different instrument to play, but you can get away with a somewhat similar feel to an acoustic if you play a Tele with heavier strings," she says.
		Sometimes she strings the top E and B strings with double courses and leaves the rest of the strings as singles—a trick she picked up from Nashville.

		He found that adding the extra low string (which has a diameter of.066 and is tuned to B) gave him a fuller sound and allowed him to play without the backing of a bass player.
