[{"role": "system", "content": "An acoustic guitar is a guitar that produces sound acoustically\u2014by transmitting the vibration of the strings to the air\u2014as opposed to relying on electronic amplification (see electric guitar). The sound waves from the strings of an acoustic guitar resonate through the guitar's body, creating sound. This typically involves the use of a sound board and a sound box to strengthen the vibrations of the strings. The main source of sound in an acoustic guitar is the string, which is plucked or strummed with the finger or with a pick. The string vibrates at a necessary frequency and also creates many harmonics at various different frequencies. The frequencies produced can depend on string length, mass, and tension. The string causes the soundboard and sound box to vibrate, and as these have their own resonances at certain frequencies, they amplify some string harmonics more strongly than others, hence affecting the timbre produced by the instrument. Gitterns, a small plucked guitar were the first small guitar-like instruments created during the Middle Ages with a round back like that of a lute. Modern guitar shaped instruments were not seen until the Renaissance era where the body and size began to take a guitar-like shape.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I play the acoustic guitar, if you didn't know it's different from the electric because it transmits the vibration of the strings to the air rather than to an amplifier."}, {"role": "user", "content": "the acoustic guitar it is often used in which genre of music?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well I believe it can be used in a lot of genres, like rock, classical, blues, jazz, folk rock, and many others."}, {"role": "user", "content": "do you play the guitar professionally?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I don't, just casually.
