![]() Then we have the guitar’s body, this is a hollow area that has a sound hole on it. This is the area you’ll be controlling with your left hand. This, in turn, raises or lowers the pitch of the string. Next, we have the guitar’s fretboard, situated along the fretboard are little metal bars called ‘frets’, these are what we press the string against in order to effectively shorten or lessen the amount of the string that is vibrating. It’s a really important part of the instrument and without it keeping things in tune would be impossible! This is where, after we have plucked the string, the vibration of the string ends. Moving on from that we next have the ‘nut’. We’ll cover this more thoroughly in the tuning section. ![]() Essentially the string winds around a small peg put in the headstock and you can twist the tuning pegs to make the string tighter or looser, which in turn makes the pitch of the string higher or lower. Starting from the very right hand side we first have the headstock, this is where the ‘tuning pegs’ are seated.
