Introduction to children's guitars: the classification of guitars
Guitars can be roughly divided into acoustic guitars (folk/fingered guitars and flamenco guitars), electric guitars (such as standard electric guitars and bass electric guitars) and classical 6-string guitars (classical guitars) according to different structures and sound principles.

All instruments called guitars have a * * * similarity, which is also the key definition of the word guitar, that is, a lyre with EADGBE strings (from thick strings to thin strings, that is, 6- 1 string). For example, ukulele, lute, Bivera and so on. Because they are not EADGBE and the number of strings is not six, they are not guitars. So is the ten-stringed piano promoted by the classical master Ye Peisi a guitar? Of course it is. In fact, the "ten-string guitar" is still a six-string instrument, because the four strings added are the auxiliary strings of the six-string instrument, not the strings. The composition of strings means that the interval between strings is greater than or equal to three degrees, usually four degrees and five degrees. This is the best way to arrange multi-voice fingering in it. The auxiliary string is to make the lowest component string continue to expand to a lower scale, thus forming a complete bass harmony. The interval between strings is two degrees or two degrees, which is not suitable for constructing chord fingering.

Classical guitar, formerly known as classical six-string piano. And the harp (classical 23-stringed piano, classical 46-stringed piano, etc. ), pipa piano and so on all belong to the category of classical piano. Can be solo, ensemble and symphony orchestra and so on. It is one of the most artistic, adaptable and profound guitars in the family. It is called "the three classic musical instruments in the world" (the other two are piano and violin), which has both the grandeur of piano and the elegance and smoothness of violin, and is called "the prince of musical instruments". Classical guitar has long been an international official instrument, unlike flamenco guitar, which is limited to playing Spanish folk music. Children who are younger or have higher musical talent should learn classical guitar, and only classical guitar can keep pace with piano and violin. Its playing posture is strict, and its technique is the most standardized and profound.

Folk guitar is an ordinary guitar played and sung by ordinary people. Regular folk guitar, chord distance 7mm, * * * box combination in 14. Features: ① The steel strings are larger in head and thinner in neck; ③ There are fourteen steel strings at the joint with the piano box. ④ The surface plate may have a half-moon guard. Paint is often flashy and not solemn. Give priority to with accompaniment.

Flamengo guitar is a kind of guitar with typical Spanish national characteristics, and its style is rough. From the appearance, flamenco guitar is thinner than classical guitar, and the materials used for production are also very different from classical guitar. The technical height of the strings and the tightness requirements of the panel are completely different. Due to the late start, there are few real flamenco guitars and players in China.

Electric guitar, electric guitar is the product of scientific and technological development. Ordinary guitars plus pickups, effectors, speakers and other accessories are electric guitars. The electric guitar is mainly used to fill the middle part of the electro-acoustic band, and sometimes plays a leading role in crossing the door and playing intermittently.
