I would like to explain Few main parts of the guitar,

1. Head stock: Also known as head is the tip of the guitar which has 6 turning keys to which your strings are tied to.

       

2.    Turning keys:Aluminum or metal keys fixed on the head that work on a screw rotating principle, they are used to tune the string of a guitar, and make them sound as we would like them to. The standard is that rotating the key clockwise makes the strings tighter and rotating it anti-clockwise loosens them. (NOTE: tightening up a string too much can result in breaking the string, and if you are not playing your guitar for more than 2 weeks, please loosen up the string, otherwise we all know metal contracts when cooled, this scientific law applies to strings of a guitar to, and people damage their guitars due to this mistake.)

     

3.    Fret board: The main part to play a guitar is fret board; this is kind of a music mixer, where you blend in different notes and chords to get melodic sounds. This is the long area in-between the body and the head, and it has strings running from the head all the way down to the body.

            

4.    Frets: the small partitions you see on the fret board. the one closest to the head is 1st fret, the next one is the 2nd fret and then 3rd, 4th and so on. normally guitars have 12 frets, but they can have more.
