The guitar is a stringed instrument that can be played acoustically or amplified. A guitar can be used as a featured lead instrument or as a background rhythmic instrument in a variety of musical genres from classical to rock 'n' roll. Most guitars have six strings, but some guitars have as few as four and as many as sixteen.
On February 5, 2009, YouTube user MysterGuitarMan posted a video titled "Guitar: Impossible." The video features a man playing "The Marriage of Figaro" by Mozart, arranged for two guitars and bass. The video is split into three windows, all of the same guitar player, playing the three separate parts of the arrangement. The video's description reads, "Over 1000 cuts. 6 hours of guitar tabbing. 1 hour of shooting. God knows how much editing. I know. I was bored."YouTube: Guitar: Impossible (2:24) -
