What is a "bass guitar"?

A bass guitar is a stringed instrument designed to provide the low-frequency foundation in various music genres. It typically has four strings, tuned an octave lower than a standard guitar, though five- and six-string versions are also common. The bass guitar features a long neck and a solid or semi-hollow body, and it is played by plucking or strumming the strings with fingers or a pick. It plays a crucial role in rhythm and harmony, offering a steady groove and complementing the harmonic structure of the music. The bass guitar's deep, resonant tones help anchor the overall sound of a band or ensemble.

hawajská kytara

a variant of the standard guitar played horizontally across the lap, known for its slack-key tuning and fingerpicking technique

What is a "Hawaiian guitar"?

A Hawaiian guitar is a stringed instrument that is played horizontally, typically on the player's lap.

Instead, a metal or glass bar, called a steel, is used to slide along the strings to change the pitch, producing a smooth, gliding sound. This technique gives the Hawaiian guitar its distinctive, mellow tone, which is commonly associated with Hawaiian music. The instrument is also popular in country and blues music for its expressive, singing quality.
