    The document summarizes the evolution of the guitar from its origins to modern forms. It began as a simple plucked string instrument in ancient times and evolved through various forms like the vihuela and lute in medieval Europe. The Spanish guitar developed in the 18th century formed the basis of the modern acoustic guitar. In the 19th century, improvements were made to the fretboard and design. The electric guitar was invented in 1932 and revolutionized popular music. Future guitar designs may utilize new materials like carbon fiber or touch interfaces without physical strings.

    01
    ORIGIN
    INTRODUCTION
    A legend from the fourth Homeric
    hymn describes the invention of the
    first plucked-string instrument and
    associates it with a magical power,
    capable to captivate even a god
    PICTURES OF FIRST FEW GUITARS
    Guitar consists of these basic things

    element that produces part of a guitar is its your guitar,using the
    sound in guitar body tuning pegs

    VARIOUS
    FORMS
    How was guitar made in past
    From a morphological standpoint, the guitar would have evolved from the earlier single-
    neck stringed instruments. In its initial stage, these instruments would have a long
    neck attached to some type of resonator that could be made from a variety of
    materials, from skulls to vegetable gourds that would be partially covered with
    animal skin.Later the gourd gave place to a solid wood box, and the animal skin was
    replaced by a soundboard also made from wood….
    THE VIHUELA (15th-century)

    During the Renaissance, outside of


    Spain and Italy, the term vihuela
    was used in conjunction with other
    guitar-related terms as a general
    way to indicate instruments
    displaying fingerboards and necks
    The Lute (16th-century)

    A lute is any plucked string instrument with


    a neck and a deep round back enclosing a
    hollow cavity, usually with a sound hole or
    opening in the body. It may be either
    fretted or unfretted
    It was developed in European regions
    THE SPANISH GUITAR (18th-century)

    The evolution of
    Spanish guitars settled
    by the 1790s.
    These had the standard
    body types and six
    course of strings that
    resembles the modern
    guitar
    TIMELINE OF GUITAR
    03
    CURRENT
    SCENARIO
    THE MODERN GUITAR (19th-century)

    The Spanish guitar was


    further improved and
    this gave birth to the
    guitar which we know
    now
    Main changes-Fret board was made
    narrow, had a cut design for better
    playing
    THE ELECTRIC GUITAR

    Invented in 1932, the


    electric guitar was
    adopted by jazz guitar
    players, who wanted to
    play single-note guitar
    solos in large big band
    ensembles

    Later on it became the main guitar for every big band


    GUITARS IN UPCOMING YEARS
    In the upcoming days the guitar is going a little change in its shape and size but
    the main principle behind the working of guitar remains the same..

    HERE IS AN IDEA OF HOW AN


    ACOUSTIC GUITAR CAN BE
    MODIFIED

    The body and the fret board of the guitar


    is made of carbon fiber .This helps in
    reducing the usage of wood
    FURTHER IMPROVEMENT

    As everything is getting digitalized,I thought of


    why not guitar
    The idea here is
    The guitar is completely made of hard plastics
    Has got no strings and a fretless fretboard
    I have made the fret board in a touch sensitive
    approach
    Even included a touch pad on the board by
    which anyone can play the guitar
    This guitar does not need any practice to be
    played as all the musical techniques are pre
    installed, just need a proper timing sense to be
    played…
