The classical guitar (also called the Spanish guitar) is the member of the guitar family used in classical music. It is an acoustical wooden guitar with six strings, usually nylon, as opposed to the metal strings used in acoustic and electric guitars. The traditional classical guitar has 12 frets clear of the body and is held on the left leg so that the hand falls at the back of the soundhole. The steel string guitar, on the other hand, has fourteen frets clear of the body and is played off the hip. In addition to the instrument, the phrase "classical guitar" can refer to two other concepts: *The instrumental finger technique common to classical guitar—individual strings plucked with the fingernails or, rarely, fingertips *The instrument's classical music repertoire The shape, construction, and material of classical guitars vary, but typically they have a ''modern classical guitar'' shape, or ''historic classical guitar'' shape resembling early romantic guitars from France and Italy. Classical guitar strings were once made of catgut and nowadays are made of polymers such as nylon, with a fine silver wire wrap on the bass strings. A guitar family tree can be identified. The flamenco guitar derives from the modern classical, but has differences in material, construction and sound.〔(Classical vs. Flamenco Guitar Construction ) (Fernandez Music)〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】FAQ about Classical Guitars and Flamenco Guitars )〕 The term ''modern classical guitar'' is sometimes used to distinguish the classical guitar from older forms of guitar, which are in their broadest sense also called ''classical'', or more specifically: ''early guitars''. Examples of early guitars include the 6-string early romantic guitar (c. 1790–1880), and the earlier baroque guitars with 5 courses. Today's ''modern classical guitar'' was established by the late designs of the 19th-century Spanish luthier Antonio Torres Jurado. ==Contexts== The classical guitar has a long history and one is able to distinguish various: *instruments *repertoire (composers and their compositions, arrangements, improvisations) Both instrument and repertoire can be viewed from a combination of various perspectives: Historical (chronological period of time) *baroque guitar — 1600 to 1750 CE *early romantic guitars — 1750 to 1850 CE (for music from the Classical and Romantic periods) *modern classical guitars Geographical *Spanish guitars (Torres), and French guitars (René Lacôte, ...), etc. Cultural *baroque court music, 19th century opera and its influences, 19th century folk songs, Latin American music, etc. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Classical guitar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
