The guitar is one of the most popular musical instruments in the world, and there are many types and genres of it: there are elegant classical guitars, passionate flamenco guitars, relaxed and chic folk singing guitars, modern electric guitars, tropical Hawaiian guitars, and the most artistic of these types is the classical guitar.

The history of the classical guitar can be said to be longer than that of the violin and piano.

Take a look at the chart of the history of the development of the classical guitar (Figure 1).

At the top are two plucked instruments from 1500 BC (Fig. 1 1) and 1400 B.C., about 3500 years ago (Fig. 1 2), which are instruments of the Persian dynasty.

The third row (Fig. 1-3) shows a plucked musical instrument from Greece at the beginning of the Common Era, about 2,000 years ago from the present day.

The next row is a Roman plucked musical instrument from 400 AD (Figs. 1-4).

Further down is 1200 AD, in the 13th century, a plucked instrument called the guitar.

On the left is a Moorish-style guitar pull (Fig. 1-5) and on the right is a Latin-style guitar pull (Fig. 1-6).

In the next row is a guitar from 1500 AD, that is, in the 16th century, with a vivila on the left (Fig. 1 7) and four sets of polystring guitars from the time (Fig. 1 8) on the right.

Further down are the five sets of compound guitars from 1600 AD, in the 17th century (Figs. 1 9).

The next row is a six-group of polychord guitars from 1700 AD (Figs. 1-10).

The next row is the six-string monochord guitar that was popular from the mid-18th century to the 19th century in 1750 and 1800 (Figs. 1, 11).

The following is a classical guitar made by the Spanish guitar master Dores from 1880 to 1900, that is, from the second half of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century (Figs. 1-12), which can be said to be the original prototype of the modern classical guitar.

At the bottom is the six-string classical guitar that is commonly used in modern times (Fig. 1-13).

The three ** pieces on the right of the hailstorm are a chart of the history of the development of another family of plucked instruments.

At the top is a oud from 1500 BC (Fig. 1-14).

In the middle is another generation of oudqin from the early A.D. (Fig. 1-15).

At the bottom is the lute, also known as the poetic qin, which was all the rage in Europe in the 16th century (Fig. 1-16).

It is rarely seen on stage these days, but there are still individual classical guitarists who play the lute.

The most famous is Julian Brim of England.

His ** will often play the lute in the first half and the classical guitar in the second half.

William Matthews, an American expert who visited China in 1990, is also a classical guitarist and lute player.

A brief history of the origin and development of the guitar? As follows:

The ancestors of the guitar, the return to decay can be traced back to the ancient Egyptian Nafar, ancient Babylonian and ancient Persian plucked instruments two or three thousand years ago. The oldest modern guitar-like musical instrument found by archaeologists is the "Hittite guitar" that lived before 1400 BC on the ruins of ancient Hittite gates in Asia Minor and northern Syria. The figure-8 inward curved body determines the unique sound resonance and characteristics of the guitar instrument, which is also the most distinctive feature of the guitar and other plucked instruments.

In thirteenth-century Spain, the Spanish guitar, which evolved from Persian, was already formed, and among the many musical instruments of the time, the "Moorish guitar" and the "Latin guitar" appeared. Among them, the Moore guitar body is oval and the back is bulging, using metal strings, and the playing style is relatively rough; The body of the Latin guitar is a figure-8 flat-bottom structure similar to that of modern guitars, and the use of sheep intestine strings has an elegant style.

The Renaissance was the heyday of the guitar. The four-hundredth-century pair of double-stringed guitars and their close cousin, the finger-strummed Bivila, were both very high in terms of performance and composition. The guitar and the bivilla were not only loved by the populace, but they also often became court instruments.

At that time, the guitar and Vivila masters included Milan, Nalehuaez, and Mudala, as well as the five sets of polyphonic baroque guitar masters of the 17th century, such as Sans, Colbetta, and Visé.

Many of their compositions remain immortal treasures in the modern classical guitar repertoire today. At that time, the notation method used by instruments such as guitars and bivillas was not the current staff, but the horizontal lines were used to represent the strings, and the phonemes and fingerings were represented by numbers or letters, similar to the graphic notation used in the six-line staff used in folk guitars today.

There are different theories about the origin of the guitar, but it is generally believed to be in the 14th century. It was introduced to Europe by the Moors of Arabia. At the time, people called this four-stringed Arabic plucked instrument vihuela, and in the development of the guitar, Spain, a Mediterranean country, played a pivotal role.

It was the continuous exploration and improvement of the luthiers and players here that led to the development of Vikhura and, more importantly, the new name of the instrument – the guitar.
