Parts of the Guitar
The tuning pegs are what raise and lower the pitch of the guitar through tightening and loosening the strings. Tightening the strings will raise the pitch while loosening the strings will lower the pitch.
The nut has small grooves for each string to fit through. It guides the strings into their appropriate tuning pegs.
Fret wires separate each individual fret. In general, you want to position your fingers close to the fret wires in order to get the best sound. However, it is important that you do not place you fingers directly on them.
The table is simply the front side of the guitar on which other parts are built onto or in the case of the sound hole, carved into.
The sound hole is used to project the sound of the guitar. In general, you play the strings over top of it.
The strings are plucked or strummed in order to create the sound. Their vibrations are amplified by the sound hole.
The Saddle holds up the strings from the rest of the guitar and is placed over top of the bridge. The bridge anchors the strings into place.
