Guitarists know a lot about their instruments-techniques, chords, songs etc. But what many guitarists don't know is the history of the guitar. It's understandable, because many people don't feel this helps at all in actually playing the guitar. Still, it is helpful to know everything about the instrument-including the history.

The history of guitar is a debatable topic, as there are no concrete facts about the guitar and when exactly it first appeared. What is known, though, is that guitars or similar instruments have been around for over 5,000 years. Entire books could be written about the history of guitar, so in this article, we'll just go over a timeline of how it is thought the guitar evolved.
