Definition
A steel guitar is a type of guitar played horizontally, typically with a steel bar or slide, to create a smooth, gliding sound. It's like a regular guitar with extra sliding abilities 🎸. Think of it as an instrument often associated with country and Hawaiian music. Unlike a standard guitar, the steel guitar is not fretted with the fingers. The steel bar is used to change the pitch of the strings, creating its unique sound. It's commonly used in many music genres.
