It is usually held flat against the player's body and played by strumming or plucking the strings with the dominant hand, while simultaneously pressing selected strings against frets with the fingers of the opposite hand. A plectrum or individual finger picks may also be used to strike the strings.

The guitar's ancestors include the gittern, the vihuela, the four- course Renaissance guitar, and the ...
