Instruments like the guitar that produce a sound by plucking strings are called plucked stringed instruments.
A plucked stringed instrument that closely resembles a guitar can be seen in a picture painted around 3,000 B.C. While there is no material available on how this instrument developed after the picture was painted to support this theory, it was no doubt remodeled into a variety of differently shaped instruments, after which it is thought to have spread around the globe.
A plucked string instrument that was first called a guitar appeared in Spain around the turn of the fifteenth century. The instrument was actually called a vihuela, and consisted of four double-strings (paired courses).
Four double-strings indicate that the instrument had two strings on each course, along the full length of the neck, for eight strings in total. A five double-string version appeared around the year 1600, with a six single-string version becoming popular in Europe in the 1800s. This six single-stringed instrument is no doubt the closest ancestor to today's guitar, and is even called the nineteenth century guitar.
Nineteenth century guitars varied in both shape and size depending on who made them. Regardless, they were always a smaller instrument that played relatively quietly.
It was guitar maker Antonio de Torres, born in Spain in 1817, who made a larger version of the guitar, which also produced a louder tone. Torres extended the length of the strings and body, and widened the body itself to create the very first version of the modern guitar. Other guitar makers took notice of the modifications he had made and popularized his manufacturing method. Further additions were made along the way, to create a guitar that more closely resembles the modern guitar.
The chord of F Major is a hugely popular chord on the guitar, but one that causes all sorts of problems for beginners. Some guitarists try to play the big full barre which only leads to lots of buzzing notes and some only play the super mini version, which if not played correctly, can sound weedy and thin.
As you can see from (my rather dodgy) illustration, the F Major chord can be one hell of a frustrating chord that makes people want to curse to the high heavens or make grown men and women weep with anguish and smash their guitars up in frustration.
This is a tough old nut to crack for many guitarists. What you are doing here is playing a C Major chord shape with fingers 2, 3 and 4 and playing a barre across the top three strings with your index finger and placing this finger at the 5th fret).

The song title is a play on that of his 1968 composition "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", released on the Beatles' White Album[37] and performed by Harrison throughout the 1974 tour.[38] While reviewers of the 1974 concerts had focused on his altering of the lyric to "While my guitar gently smiles" and "... tries to smile",[5][12] Harrison told BBC Radio 1's Paul Gambaccini in September 1975 that it was a track that was consistently well received by audiences during the tour.[39][40] Harrison described the new composition as "Son of 'Guitar Gently Weeps'".[39][40]
Theologian Dale Allison writes of Harrison's "deep hurt" being reflected in the lyrics to "This Guitar".[52] The two bridge sections document the "unwarranted abuse that comes his way", Inglis writes, while typifying the theme that "[Harrison] is the guitar":[43]
After Harrison has named Rolling Stone as the main perpetrator of his anguish,[43][53] Leng suggests that he is unable to sustain the previous "artifice", whereby the lyrics' shift in perspective from first-person to third-person represented the apparently "happy" private man versus the "wounded" musician, as "personified by his guitar".[54] Instead, Harrison "flays his detractors" in the song's subsequent verses.[54] These final verses contain the rhyming couplets "Thought by now you knew the score / You missed the point just like before" and "While you attack, create offence / I'll put it down to your ignorance".[44] Music critic Lindsay Planer describes the lines as "suggesting that there is more to Harrison's music than is being taken into consideration by narrow-minded journalists".[37]
Harrison recorded the basic track for "This Guitar (Can't Keep from Crying)" at A&M Studios in Hollywood between 21 April and 7 May.[61] Harrison played 12-string acoustic guitar, with support from David Foster on piano, and sparse, floor tom-heavy drumming from Jim Keltner.[40][61] Klaus Voormann, Harrison's regular bass player and a friend since the Beatles' Hamburg years, chose to not participate in many of the sessions for Extra Texture,[62] later citing the abundance of cocaine and Harrison's "frame of mind when he was doing this album".[63] Harrison overdubbed the song's bass part using an ARP synthesizer,[37] while Gary Wright provided the ARP strings atmospherics,[64] a sound that characterised his hit album The Dream Weaver around this time.[65][nb 6] In the description of author Andrew Grant Jackson, the song's opening synthesizer part "wouldn't sound out of place in a '70s horror flick or a Death Wish sequel".[67]
When discussing "This Guitar" with Paul Gambaccini in London, in September,[39] Harrison described the song as "a cheap excuse to play some guitar".[40] Harrison played the slide guitar parts throughout the track, including the closing solo.[68][69] Leng identifies both "Pete Drake stylings" and the influence of "raga microtones" in Harrison's performance.[54] The wah-effected guitar solo midway through the song was performed by Jesse Ed Davis,[42] who, having first supported Harrison at the Concert for Bangladesh in August 1971, had since mirrored the ex-Beatle's guitar style on John Lennon's recent hit song "#9 Dream".[70] Davis overdubbed his contribution to "This Guitar" on 5 June, the day before the Foster-arranged orchestral strings were recorded.[71]
In another unfavourable review from Rolling Stone,[101] Dave Marsh dismissed much of the album's first side as "padded subterfuge" while opining that "there just isn't compensation here for the failed promise of 'This Guitar (Can't Keep from Crying)'".[102] NME writers Roy Carr and Tony Tyler said that, in comparison with the Beatles track, Harrison's "often-impressively lachrymose guitar falls short of true grief-stricken form here", adding: "The lack of a tune doesn't help."[103] Conversely, Record World's single reviewer wrote that Harrison "hits the mark with this edited extra textural ballad" and highlighted Wright's ARP strings among the "superb accompaniment".[104]
Swift was inspired to write "Teardrops on My Guitar" by her unrequited love for a high-school classmate. Musically, the track is a gentle acoustic guitar-driven ballad and incorporates mandolin and fiddle. Music critics have conflicting opinions about the song's country-music classification; those disagreeing said it had a pop-music production. They complimented Swift's vocals and songwriting for earnestly portraying heartbreak. "Teardrops on My Guitar" peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was Swift's first pop-radio crossover single on the Mainstream Top 40 chart. The single was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
"Teardrops on My Guitar" has received acclaim from contemporary critics. Perone cited the song as Swift's songwriting ability to draw on diverse musical styles and regarded the "teardrops on my guitar" image one of the album's most memorable lyrical detail.[17] Regarding the song's musical genre, Roger Holland of PopMatters believed there was no reason for Swift to limit herself into only the country music or why she should be a country artist at all. Holland continued, "Yet this is the channel to market she has chosen, and so she has to be prepared to hear complaints about the way that trademarked Mutt Lange guitar whine has been married to her bright shiny pop songs in order to get them onto CMT, GAC, and country radio."[25] Bill Lamb of About.com rated "Teardrops on My Guitar" four out of five stars. Lamb complimented Swift's vocal delivery and songwriting style, but criticized the production and arrangement, perceiving them to be dull. He added that the track's refrains were most impacting and deemed it among the most memorable songs of 2007.[20] Sean Dooley, also of About.com, described Swift's vocals as "nothing less than captivating."[18]
In the video, Swift and Hilton portray two high school students. Swift's character is in love with Hilton's, but he is in love with another girl. Scenes of the two characters studying together are intertwined with scenes of Swift's character in a long aquamarine evening gown, lying beside an acoustic guitar on a mattress in a bedroom. By the song's bridge, Swift's character witnesses the male lead kissing his girlfriend as she watches despondently. The video ends with Swift in the bedroom, crying on the mattress. The video received a nomination for "Number One Streamed Music Video" at the web-hosted 2007 CMT Online Awards, but lost to Sugarland's "Stay" (2007).[45] The video received a nomination for MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, but lost to Tokio Hotel's video for "Ready, Set, Go!" (2007).[46]
