A guitar can used to play amazing musical pieces, consisting

of melodies and chords alike. One of the distinct features of
the guitar is that a melody and accompaniment can be played
at the same time.
While a classical guitar is best enjoyed playing solo melodies,
playing with other guitarists can also be very enjoyable. Yet
one of the most attractive features of the guitar is that it is in
a world of its own when combined with singing and other solo
instruments.

Nylon strings can faithfully produce tones from subtle

differences in touch, enabling the guitarist to reproduce
subtle changes in sound and a delicate balance in tonal
strength. String tension can be utilized to recreate a range of
sounds-sharp and soft-that may resemble that of a harp, cello
or flute, or even the voices of a man or woman.
