A Hawaiian guitar is a stringed instrument that is played horizontally, typically on the player's lap. Unlike a regular guitar, the strings of a Hawaiian guitar are not pressed down onto the frets with the fingers. 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.
