What's the difference between Spanish guitar and Hawaiian guitar?

Spanish guitars and Hawaiian guitars are divided according to their range. Spanish Guitar: Most guitars can be seen in China, including acoustic guitars and electric guitars. , are two kinds of guitars. You can think that all guitars played across your chest are Spanish guitars.

Hawaiian Guitar: This kind of guitar is rare in China. You need to lay it flat on a table or leg, touch it with a round iron bar and stir it with a nail sleeve; Its scope of application and artistry are relatively narrow, so I won't introduce it much. Remember, it is flat.

This paper mainly discusses the classification of Spanish guitars:

1. Classical Guitar: This is the most artistic, representative, adaptable, profound and recognized by the art world in the guitar family; Classical guitar has long been an international official instrument, and it is no longer limited to playing Spanish folk music. Students should learn classical guitar when learning guitar. Classical guitar is often the most expensive guitar in the guitar family, and only classical guitar can keep pace with piano and violin. Classical guitar can replace any other guitar in a sense, and its playing technique is also the most standardized and profound. Classical guitar can be solo, ensemble, concerto with symphony orchestra and so on.

What kind of guitar is a classical guitar? It can be simply described as: ① a nylon rope (not a steel rope); (2) the joint between the neck and the box is just the twelfth product; ③ Seen from the front, it is symmetrical left and right, with no corners; (4) solemn appearance, mostly log color or plain color rather than gaudy. ⑤ Excellent workmanship and clear and elegant timbre.

Please note: if you want your children to learn the guitar, and the children are younger (such as high school students or younger), you must let them learn the classical guitar, otherwise it is better to "play the guitar" than "learn the guitar", because learning other kinds of guitars is of no value to growing children and will not achieve anything. It is even easy to lead children astray. Especially folk guitars and electric guitars, because they are mainly used in the entertainment circle, are contaminated with too many bad habits in the entertainment circle.

Secondly, the folk guitar, that is, the ordinary guitar played and sung by ordinary people, is only a supporting role of popular songs, so it is of low artistry and does not have much advanced technology at all. Generally speaking, folk guitars are for the entertainment of young people, or for the decoration of singers and actors. Because folk guitar only plays an auxiliary role in playing and singing, strictly speaking, learning folk guitar cannot be called "learning guitar" Do you learn to play or sing? Often in the end, I have learned nothing, and I can't sing well or play well. The characteristics of folk guitar: ① a steel wire string; ② The head is bigger; A thinner neck; ③ Fourteen pieces at the joint between the strings and the piano box. ④ The surface plate may have a half-moon guard. Paint is often flashy and not solemn.

Flamengo Guitar: This is a kind of guitar with typical Spanish national characteristics, and its style is rough. From the appearance, flamenco guitar is no different from classical guitar, but the materials used in its production are quite different from classical guitar. The technical height of the strings and the tightness requirements of the panel are completely different. Real flamenco guitars can be seen in China.

Up to now, the few people who play flamenco guitar in our country mostly use classical guitars instead. It seems unnecessary for ordinary students to learn this kind of musical instrument with strong nationality.

4. Electric guitar: Electric guitar is the product of scientific and technological development. Ordinary guitars plus pickups, effectors, speakers and other accessories are electric guitars. Electric guitar is mainly used to fill the middle part of an electro-acoustic band, playing intermittently through the door, and sometimes playing a leading role. Its playing skills fascinate people in the entertainment circle. In fact, the playing technique of electric guitar can be said to be relatively simple, mostly some fast scales, arpeggios and so on. And the electric guitar itself is more difficult. Moreover, as an electro-acoustic instrument, its sound actually has an insurmountable sense of "out of control" like the electronic organ, so its artistry is greatly reduced and it appears in the entertainment circle.

5. Peak Guitar: Real and genuine Peak Guitar is rarely seen in China, and occasionally it can be seen in very professional shops in megacities. Peak is a transliteration of English P I c K, which is also called pick. Peak guitar is played with a pick. The characteristics of Peak guitar are: ① There is no circular sound hole, but an "F" sound hole, which looks like a violin sound hole. ② A steel wire string. Peak guitar has little influence because of its limitations, so I don't want to introduce it much.

In addition, a cheap guitar looks like a classic guitar in appearance, but it has steel strings and colorful paint, and its size is not standard. From the professional requirements, it is a kind of "four unlike" or "toy guitar", which reflects that the guitar production level in China is low, informal and still in the primary stage.
