Online Guitar Lessons by Los Angeles Guitar Academy's LAGA Online

As early as the thirty-seventh century B. C., people have played the ancestors of the modern guitar.  Apparently, the King of Thebes was an enthusiast of the plucked string instrument.  A sculpture on his tomb gives us a three-dimensional view of this instrument, which bears a close resemblance to today's guitar, having similarly curved sides.  In another instance, a relief sculpture  found in Cappadocia, dated approximately 1000 B. C.,  portrays a fretted Egyptian instrument. Archaeologists have also uncovered evidence of ancient plucked instruments in Persia (modern-day Iran) and in Arabia.
