Here
are some of the instruments
used by a common band. However,
there are still other instruments that can
also be used which are not featured
in this page.

ELECTRIC
GUITAR
An electric guitar is a type of guitar
that uses electronic pickups to convert
the vibration of its steel-cored strings
into electrical current that may be
electrically altered to achieve various
tonal effects prior to being fed into an
amplifier, which produces the
final sound which can be either
an electrical sound or an acoustic sound.
Distortion, equalization, or other effects
can change the sound that is emitted from
the amplifier.

DRUMS
A drum is a musical instrument in
the percussion family, technically
classified as a membranophone.
Drums consist of at least one
membrane, called a drumhead or drum
skin, that is stretched over a shell and
struck, either directly with parts of a
player's body, or with some sort of
implement such as a drumstick, to
produce sound.
Drums are the world's oldest and most
ubiquitous musical instruments, and the
basic design has remained virtually
unchanged for thousands of years..

KEYBOARD
A keyboard instrument is any musical
instrument played using a musical
keyboard.
The most common of these is the
piano, which is used in nearly all forms
of western music. Other widely used
keyboard instruments include various
types of organs as well as other
mechanical, electromechanical and
electronic instruments.
In common language, it is mostly used
to refer to keyboard-style synthesizers.

ELECTRIC BASS
GUITAR
The electric bass guitar is an
electrically-amplified string instrument
played with the fingers by plucking
or slapping, or by using a pick.
The bass is similar in appearance to
an electric guitar, but with a larger body,
a longer neck and scale length, and,
usually, four or five strings tuned one
octave lower in pitch, in the bass range.

STEEL STRING ACOUSTIC
GUITAR
A steel string acoustic guitar is a
modern form of guitar descended
from the classical guitar, but strung
with steel strings for a brighter,
louder sound.
Strictly speaking, the terms steel-
stringed guitar, classical guitar and
folk guitar all refer to acoustic
(that is, non-electric) guitars, though
some of these terms refer to different
types of instruments (nylon-strung vs.
steel-strung).
The term "acoustic guitar" is a
retronym, since before the invention
of the electric instrument, all guitars
were "acoustic".
