1. steel guitar

   A steel guitar is a type of musical instrument that is played by sliding a steel bar or tube (steel) across the strings, rather than pressing them down onto a fretboard. The instrument is typically positioned horizontally, such as on a player's lap or on a stand, rather than being held vertically. The key characteristic of the steel guitar sound is its smooth sliding pitch due to the lack of frets. Types of steel guitars include the lap steel, pedal steel, dobro and the Hawaiian guitar. They are widely used in country music, blues, and Hawaiian music.

1. Steel guitar

   Steel guitar is a type of guitar or the method of playing the instrument. Developed in Hawaii in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a steel guitar is usually positioned horizontally; strings are plucked with one hand, while the other hand changes the pitch of one or more strings with the use of a bar or slide called a steel. The term steel guitar is often mistakenly used to describe any metal body resophonic guitar. Steel guitar can describe: ⁕A method of playing slide guitar using a steel. Resonator guitars, including round necked varieties, are particularly suitable for this style, yet are seldom referred to as "steel guitars", but rather referred to generally as a Dobro, acoustic slide guitar, or square neck resonator guitars. Dobro is also a brand name of one of the leading manufacturers of resonator guitars. ⁕A specialized instrument built for playing in steel guitar fashion. These are of several types: ⁕Lap steel guitar, which may be: ⁕Lap slide guitar, with a conventional wooden guitar box. ⁕The square-necked variety of resonator guitar. ⁕Electric lap steel guitar. ⁕Electric console steel guitar. ⁕Electric pedal steel guitar.
