Realistically, it cannot be traced back further than the 15th Century. It is thought to have been invented by the people of Malaga. This early instrument was a "four course" guitar, from which the ukulele is derived. The first guitars were very small, and were originally strung with four pair of strings.
Hey Braxton. Wow amazing to think the guitar was around in the 15th century!! I wonder what music they played then? Would be great to find out what music from the 15th century sounded like! Really enjoying seeing you focused on your learning Braxton. Keep up the great work!
