The Spanish guitar is a type of guitar usually used for playing “classical" music and originated from Spain. The guitar is made of soft boozel wood with a large, hollow sound-box with a shape similar to of the female body, which is probably why so many male guitarists give their guitars female aliases. The guitar’s long fret-board is made of soft wood, and the head is made to produce very fine tuning. Historically, the Spanish guitar was strung with pig’s gut strings that gave a singly, gentle, slightly soft sound. The Spanish guitar is made for any music pieces but particularly suited to sweet old classical music.

The Flamenco Guitar is very similar to the classical guitar: Main difference between this and a classical guitar is that the fretboard of the Flamenco guitar is even wider and longer

Acoustic or Folk Guitar is similar in compared to the Spanish guitar. The main differences are that its fretboard is narrower and built with more strength to cope with greater tension, the sound-box is sometimes slightly larger and the strings

are made of steel or hard nylon. The sound the Acoustic guitar makes is smaller and more "crisp". This is very popular with old musicians on both sides of the Alantic, who have no trouble playing complex finger-picking styles the guitars. You might be want to get this guitar if you are interested in playing rhythms, doing a lot of heavy strums, and are taking your first steps in rock, like using a variety of tunings or if you wanting to play smooth jazz and blues rock.

The Electric guitar needs to be put into an electric amplifier for the sound to be heard. These guitars are usually made out of complete solid wood and can be very heavy. If you are playing these types of guitars wear a comfortable shoulder strap: A lot of electric guitars have a small, hollow sound-chamber in which the electric coils are concealed. These types of electric guitars are typically lightweight, and can make vast arrangements of sounds from "classical" to heavy metal. Electric guitars are mainly used for rock, pop concerts and playing in venues where loud amplification is needed.

The bass guitar comes with usually less than 4 strings and frequently with a fretless neck. The tuning of the bass guitar is the same as for the bottom four strings of a electric guitar but down one octave, and the strings are thus heavier and thicker. The bass is used for laying down thick deep sounds and mainly used for the rhythm and keeping with the drums. For instance, in some rock bands the bassist rather than the drummer holds the band's playing together.
