Brief history of the guitarThe word “guitar” comes from the Spanish word “guitarra” which came from the former Latin word “cithara” and the Sanskrit word “tar” meaning string. Our modern guitar comes from the lute which came to Europe between the 6th
and the 9th century. Later it came to Spain from the Moors who brought the Oud. Around the late 17th century guitars with nylon or gut strings became popular. In 1850 Antonio de Torres invented what we now called the acoustic guitar. Now a days we have steel-stringed guitars which surpassed the popularity of nylon-string guitars.

Major and MinorChords and Scales Cont’d
Scales set the tone and mood of your music. They help understand the ability to know and recall relationships between notes. With this the relationship between chords and how they set an emotional mood is understood as well. Good composition and song writing with good technique and more interesting rhythm work is learnt. All in all, this leads towards a roadmap for soloing and knowing various melodies to play over the right chords at the right time.
