Prepared guitar

Okay kiddo, so you know what a guitar looks like right? It has a body, a neck, and some strings. But what about a prepared guitar? Well, it's like a regular guitar, but someone has done some special things to it to make it sound different.

First, imagine if you had a toy guitar and you put some stickers on it. Maybe you put a star sticker on one of the strings. Now when you strum that string, it sounds a little different because of the sticker. That's kind of like what someone might do to a prepared guitar. They might attach things like paper clips, drumsticks or even paint brushes to the guitar strings so that when you play them, they make a different sound.

Also, someone might make changes to the guitar body or neck. They might put rubber bands or other objects on the guitar strings behind the frets. This can create different sounds and even change the pitch of the notes.

Overall, a prepared guitar is a regular guitar that has been changed in different ways to make unique and interesting sounds. It's like if you took your favorite toy and added some things to it to make it even more fun to play with!
