The development history of classical guitar

"Guitar" is a major category of the classical stringed instrument. As early as the 8th and 9th centuries, there were Arabic guitars and Latin guitars. The earliest guitar music began to sprout in the 13th century.

Before the classical period, "the guitar" had four complex strings and five complex strings. The disadvantage of complex strings was that the number of strings was too many to tune. Therefore, the improved form of five single strings soon became popular. In 1790, the Germans added the sixth string, making the six-string tuning of the current guitar EADGBE appear for the first time. The finalization of the hardware technology of the classical guitar originated from the improvement made by the Spanish pianist and established the 65cm national standard chord length which is still in use in the 21st century. Nylon strings can not only withstand higher tension and more drastic changes in the physical environment but also have a longer life. They can also greatly improve the timbre and volume of classical guitars and have almost completely replaced the fragile gut strings.

In terms of performance, the guitar has a rich expressive force and can play music of various music periods in the form of solo, ensemble, concerto, and accompaniment. Compared with the piano, the performance of the guitar is superior. The only point is that the volume of the guitar is less than that of the piano. But for modern people living in a densely populated environment, low-volume instruments will not disturb the people in practice, so they can have more choices in practice time. It is one of the main instruments of today's pop music.
