que: I'm going to the Dominican Republic next year 2 take Bachata lessons and I need to know what is the name of the guitar the Bachata singers play because in the band there's at least three other guitar players but I want to know what the lead guitar is called. Para mi gente Dominicano que saben que lo que. Gracias!|||Bachata, is a style of guitar music from the Dominican Republic. It can be played on an acoustic, or electric guitar.|||It is called the Requinto. It is like a guitar, but tuned lower.

I play classical and acoustic...and don't really know too much about this guitar !!!!!!!!!|||Bachata is pretty complicated - put Bachata into Google and look at all the information located at Wikipedia. It's pretty interesting how the whole Bachata sound is made. Good luck!
