What is a "steel guitar"?
A steel guitar is a type of guitar that produces sound by using a metal bar or slide to press down on the strings, rather than pressing the strings directly with the fingers. The instrument is typically played horizontally on a stand or lap, with the player sliding the bar across the strings to change the pitch. Steel guitars can be either acoustic or electric and are known for their smooth, sliding tones and distinctive sound. They are commonly used in country, blues, and Hawaiian music, adding a unique, expressive quality to the music.
