Words that rhyme with Guitar
The shape of guitar: two-syllable, vowel coloured by the broad /ษหr/, ending that flows into the next line via a liquid. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Engine returns: the strict-rhyme column is bounded, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use. Lyric returns: a common-tongue word. Reach for the assonance list whenever the strict pool starts repeating itself.

Why guitar rhymes the way it does
Guitar sits on the open /ษหr/, transcribed /ษหr/ in our engine, and flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 36 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 296, assonance 6,948, and consonance 500. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Guitar is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
