Strum Along The guitar is a popular stringed nstrument, It can be used to accom- :any singers, as a solo instrument, or as part of a band. For centuries, musi- :ians played acoustical guitars, which Jroduced sound from the vibration of he strings. During the 1900's, electri- :al guitars became popular. An elec- ric guitar has an electrimogretic fevice that picks up the sound of the string when being strummed and sends it through an amplifier. An elec- ric guitar can produce a greater range nf sounds than an acoustical guitar. The guitar club used both electrical and acoustical guitar to send off the nest sounds from the vibration of the strings, to get the best sound effects. Aembers strummed along as they accompanied the music with their singing. They also did solo numbers either just playing original classic or singing and playing well known sounds. The first time their sounds were at he P.T.S.A. on January the 16. Where :oth the young and the old were get- ing down to the funky sounds.
