[{"role": "system", "content": "The guitar is a fretted musical instrument that usually has six strings. The sound is projected either acoustically, using a hollow wooden or plastic and wood box (for an acoustic guitar), or through electrical amplifier and a speaker (for an electric guitar). It is typically played by strumming or plucking the strings with the fingers, thumb or fingernails of the right hand or with a pick while fretting (or pressing against the frets) the strings with the fingers of the left hand. The guitar is a type of chordophone, traditionally constructed from wood and strung with either gut, nylon or steel strings and distinguished from other chordophones by its construction and tuning. The modern guitar was preceded by the gittern, the vihuela, the four-course Renaissance guitar, and the five-course baroque guitar, all of which contributed to the development of the modern six-string instrument. There are three main types of modern acoustic guitar: the classical guitar (nylon-string guitar), the steel-string acoustic guitar, and the archtop guitar, which is sometimes called a \"jazz guitar\". The tone of an acoustic guitar is produced by the strings' vibration, amplified by the hollow body of the guitar, which acts as a resonating chamber.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I am looking at buying a guitar. Can you tell me more about them?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes absolutely! They are a nice fretted stringed instrument. Usually six strings but you can also get a 12 string."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Ok. I heard there is acoustic and electric. What is the difference?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well for the acoustic, the body is hallow wood. The electric has an electrical amplifier and played through a speaker."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I think I will go with acoustic so I don't have to buy more equipment. What else can you tell me?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well it takes some practice. But you can learn to play by strumming or plucking the strings. You can use your thumb and fingernails. In the beginning your fingers will probably get a little sore."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yeah I heard some people use a plastic \"pick\" so they don't have to use their fingers."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes this is true. They are made of plastic or sometimes wood or even glass."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Wow I will have to decide what is best for me. Thanks for your help getting me started!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "No problem. Also there are different types of acoustics. There is the modern acoustic, as well as the classical acoustic which has nylon strings. I love the sound of nylon, but typically it's only used for classical music. "}]
