What does GUITAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
music
A stringed musical instrument with a fretted neck and a hollow or solid body, played by plucking or strumming.
A guitar usually has six strings running from a tuning head down a fretted neck to the body, where the player plucks or strums them with the fingers or a small pick called a plectrum. Acoustic guitars rely on a hollow wooden body to project sound, while electric guitars use magnetic pickups and an amplifier, letting them be heard clearly on a loud stage. The instrument developed from earlier stringed instruments related to the lute, and it now appears across almost every popular music style, from classical and flamenco to rock and blues. Learning basic chords on a guitar is one of the most common ways beginners start playing music.
