Descriptive Text: Guitar

The guitar is a stringed musical instrument that is played by plucking, using the fingers or a plectrum.
The guitar is formed from a main body with a solid neck to which the strings, generally numbering
six, are attached. Guitars are traditionally made from various types of wood with strings made of
nylon or steel. Some modern guitars are made of polycarbonate material. In general, guitars are
divided into 2 types: acoustic and electric.

An acoustic guitar has very important parts to produce a beautiful sound, namely:

1. The first part of an acoustic guitar is the head or headstock which is right at the very top of the
guitar. In general, the guitar head is made of wood as the place for the tuner and nut.

The head of this guitar musical instrument also usually represents the brand or brand the guitar was
made from, because each brand of guitar generally has different characteristics from one another.

2. The second part of the acoustic guitar musical instrument is the nut, which is a small bearing that is
usually used to support the six strings on the guitar so that the sound emitted from the musical
instrument sounds loud.

Without a nut on a guitar, the sound it produces will not feel loud. In general, all brands of guitar
makers use the same nut color, namely white.

3. The third part of the acoustic guitar musical instrument is the tuner which is a playing machine on
the guitar that is generally made from metal or metal base materials. The number of tuners on a guitar
is the same as the strings, namely 6. The function of the tuner on a guitar is to tune or regulate the
sound of an acoustic guitar.

4. The fourth part of the acoustic guitar musical instrument is the fret which is a piece of metal across
the fingerboard or fretboard. In general, the frets on a guitar musical instrument are made from metal.

On an acoustic guitar, there are 19 frets which have the function of determining the tone of the strings
when played. Therefore, the function of the frets on an acoustic guitar is very important and vital.

5. The fifth part of the acoustic guitar musical instrument is the neck which is used as a place for a
person's left hand to hold the guitar or vice versa for left-handed people. The neck on a good guitar is
generally perfectly straight.

If there is a bend in the guitar then the quality of the guitar is no longer good.

6. The sixth part of the acoustic guitar musical instrument is the connector or heel which is generally
made from solid wood and has the function of connecting the neck to the body of a guitar.

7. The seventh part of the acoustic guitar musical instrument is the body which is the most important
and most prominent part of a guitar musical instrument. This is because 80% of the entire guitar
consists of this part.

8. The eighth part of the acoustic guitar musical instrument is the bridge which has the function of
connecting or linking the strings on the guitar musical instrument with the body.

9. The ninth part of the acoustic guitar musical instrument is the soundboard which is a sound
resonance box on the guitar musical instrument.
10. The tenth part of the acoustic guitar musical instrument is the sound hole which is a part of the
guitar that functions as access to the soundboard.

11. The eleventh part of the acoustic guitar musical instrument is the strings which are one of the most
important parts of a guitar. This is because if a guitar musical instrument does not have strings then it
is not complete and cannot be played.

12. The twelfth part of the acoustic guitar instrument is the saddle, which is a bearing on a guitar
instrument that is located on the bridge of the guitar.

13. The thirteenth part of the acoustic guitar musical instrument is the fingerboard or fretboard which,
as the name suggests, means fingerboard. The fingerboard on a guitar is used to place your fingers
when pressing the strings at certain frets.

Review Text : Killer Queen

Killer Queen is a song that was popularized in 1974 by a well-known British band called Queen. The
song was written by lead singer Freddie Mercury and recorded for their third album Sheer Heart
Attack.

Starting with a flick of the hand and then accompanied by the piano played by the main vocalist
makes this song very interesting. Not only that, the backing vocals from the drummer and guitarist are
also very melodious, making the song even more interesting and elegant. In terms of musical
composition, it is very unique and light so that it reflects the lyrics of the song.

The short duration of the song makes some listeners less "excited" when the song is finished
playing.Then the outro of the song is also not too creative and is repeated, making the song a little
“hanging”.

However, overall this song is very pleasant to listen to, especially for those who don't like the heavy
rock music genre. Also, this song is very suitable for those who want to listen to rock music for the
first time.
