The origin of guitars may have dated back to 1900-1800 B.C. in Babylonia. Archaeologists found a clay plaque showing nude figures holding musical instruments, some of which resembled the guitar.

The guitar is one of the most popular musical instruments and is suitable for students age 6 years upwards. Folk style is easier to start with and remember to opt for non-electric guitars if you're a beginner. Guitars come in a variety of sizes and styles to suit any students' need. Guitars are a mainstay in most music ensembles and you can also play it solo and still sound appealing.
