Guitar

Guitar design had to of developed from somewhere. So I wondered where in the world it developed from and I went off to find out. The exact origin of the guitar is unknown but it is theorized that it was first created 3,300 years ago in Asia. This is based off of a stone carving found in India of a Hittite bard. The guitar first appears in the Europe after the crusades. Although the crusaders didn’t win in the sense they wanted to the amount of culture and technology they brought back from the Arab nations. The guitar in Europe slowly became its own unique design. The Spanish vihuela is considered one of the fathers of the modern guitar. It had six courses and resembled the shape of the modern guitar. The current design of the guitar varies greatly from the 10 string classical guitar to the 6 string electric guitar. This variety allows the guitar to be one of the most versatile instruments in the world today.
