Music has always been one of the major joys of human society. People like hearing melodic sounds that come thanks to mixture of various musical instruments. It includes the piano, the guitar, the drums, the violin, the cello, etc.
One of my favourite sounds is the music produced by the guitar. Although I don't play it professionally, I can easily play a couple of interesting pieces, which I was taught as a child. Other than that I learned how to play the piano and one specific stringed instrument. However, in my opinion guitar is one of the most harmonious instruments I've ever heard or seen.
Even its outer shape looks harmonious. Many outstanding musicians became famous thanks to their professional guitars. At the moment the guitars of such musicians as Elvis Presley, Bob Marley, John Lennon are considered to be as expensive as many other treasures on our planet.
The history of this instrument is rather old. It goes back to ancient times. It is at least five thousand years old. However in India and Central Asia it was known as the “sitara”. The word “guitarra” has Spanish roots and it appeared in the English speaking world at medieval times, to be precise in the seventeenth century. Nowadays there are a few types of guitar, apart from the classical one. It has become one of the lead items in most existing genres of music, such as pop, rock, punk. It is especially handy when playing the Spanish flamenco. I have once been present at such concert and I should confess I've enjoyed it. Modern flamenco is one of the best art-forms that can fully transfer the melodic soul and sound of the guitar. That's why I like and recommend it.
