    Almost every culture in history has featured string instruments as part of their musical life and heritage. However, regardless of their origin, string instruments share one common characteristic: a string stretched between two points to produce the sound.

For example, guitars are strummed or plucked rather than played with a bow (i.e. bowed) whereas the opposite is true of the cello or the violin, for which strumming and plucking are used to a much lesser degree.…

By 1954, electric guitarists had been influenced by the swinging low-string styles of Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith, single-note solo passages by Hank Williams's Sammy Pruett, and the finger-picking styles of Merle Travis and Chet Atkins.” (C.Brewer). Rockabilly also influenced R&B music because the genre adopted the instrument and uses it as the main source for its…
