The guitar has evolved throughout history and serves various musical roles in cultures around the world. It comes with its own set of ancient origin stories. But of course, that depends on exactly who you ask. Some might tell you that it was born in any one of the regions within the ancient world. This stretches from the Gods and Goddesses of Greece to the hands of the Princes in Persia. Each guitar type has its nuances and quirks that make it unique and valuable. While many of them may have six strings, all these different types of guitar require other skills and sensibilities for them to be played well.
