The guitar is a musical instrument with ancient roots that is used in a wide variety of musical styles. It typically has six strings, but four, seven, eight, ten, and twelve string guitars also exist.
Guitars are recognized as one of the primary instruments in blues, country, flamenco, rock music, and many forms of pop. There is also a solo classical instrument. Guitars may be played acoustically, where the tone is produced by vibration of the strings and modulated by the hollow body, or they may rely on an amplifier that can electronically manipulate tone. Such electric guitars were introduced in the 20th century and continue to have a profound influence on popular culture.
Traditionally guitars have usually been constructed of combinations of various woods and strung with animal gut, or more recently, with either nylon or steel strings. Guitars are made and repaired by luthiers.

On 090805, I made international tv headlines when I quoted The Dick to The Dick by saying Go F*** Yourself Mr. Cheney to then Vice President
Dick Cheney thus ruining his attempt to whitewash the pathetic post-Katrina recovery efforts. Rolling Stone magazine proclaimed my words as the best televised sounbite of the year and

O, was invited to perform a concert in Lafayette Park in front of the WHITE HOUSE. The weather tried to stop us in that it was raining periodically while we played but THE SHOW MUST GO ON! And so it came to pass that dR. O played this 1954 Gibson ES175 while performing the following songs: Impeach Now , Go F*** Yourself Mr. Cheney , 091101 , Moving to Outer Space , and Hey Why Can t We Have Some Peace Today? . We ended with an encore of the Impeach Now song. You can hear the guitar in action and see footage from the WHITE HOUSE performance by clicking the video below
Of course, as we all know in the long run Nasi Pelosi and Harry Mangina Reid didn t have the cahones to do the right thing and IMPEACH THE WAR CRIMINALS. Despite that this guitar will forever be a part of ROCK AND ROLL HISTORY and American political history!
