As i understand it... Chord Families are a number of chords that can be played within the same stretch of fretboard real estate (maybe within the same four frets), where you can play all the chords in the key. This is pretty easy to catch onto if you know your neck or the nature of guitar chord construction but most of us beginners have a hard time grasping it. The C-A-G-E-D system could help get some new but easy to understand chords under your fingers... but in regard to chord families...

What music family is a guitar from?

Answer 1:It is part of the Percussion Family, as do most instruments. Anything you bang on or hit, or strum at all, is part of the Percussion Family.Answer 2:"Most instruments" do not belong to the percussion family. However, many (such as the piano) do belong to more than one family. The acoustic guitar is regarded as belonging to both the percussion and the string family. It earns its position in the string family as its strings are plucked. Stringed instruments are played by plucking, bowing or striking the string.
