A guitar is a stringed musical instrument, typically with six strings, played by plucking or strumming, commonly used in various music genres. While 'guitarra' is a direct translation for the common six-string instrument, in Spanish-speaking contexts, it can also refer more broadly to a range of traditional string instruments that resemble guitars but may not have a specific, distinct English name, such as regional folk instruments or larger bass guitars.
