Electric Guitar Iran
A brief history of modern guitar
The modern electric guitar is a product away from his humble origins, and before these developments and modern trends, and increased use of synthetic materials, a guitar was defined simply as an instrument with a fretted long neck that was on the basis that was a sounding board with curved sides, and above all, had a flat back. This contrasts with the string instruments like the lute and other early musical development.
Although it may seem that the guitars are relatively new instruments that meet the definition existed, and has been popular for at least five thousand years. Classical guitar we know today, with its six strings, was originally developed in Spain, although it has a long and varied history itself, and as many instruments, has a mixed heritage, as does interest in various musical trends and similar instruments.
Many of the original six-string Spanish guitar again Middle East and, in particular Central Asia and India, where the sitar and other similar string instruments were very popular. In addition to the harp, which remains popular today and has a distinctive sound that almost immediately conjures up images of India, the guitar is a legacy that dates back to instruments like the tanbur and Setar, from Iran.
But the historical origins may predate even more, and we can take the history of the development of the guitar in a folder that is much more three thousand years. There is a carving of a Hittite bard holding a stringed instrument that can not be taken for anything other than a higher form of a guitar as an instrument, which shows that the instrument had won a role in popular society. The word sitar and the guitar seems very similar, since both share the same ancestry.
The guitar comes from the Latin word means zither stringed instrument and the word in turn comes from the Greek heritage. The Greek word zither is believed to come from the Persian word sitar, which is where the guitar sitar and lexical words share an ancestor.
The word zither, the Latin word from which derives the guitar, refers to an ancestor of the modern guitar six strings, and was a popular instrument in the Roman era, but instead of strummed, seems to have been collected, generating a very distinctive sound, and very different from their today's traditional partners. In fact, the sound was more likely to be closer to the sound quality Indian or Persian sitar sound we hear in today's Europe. The Romans brought get your harp in Spain or Hispania as it was called, during the first century AD, and was then adapted to incorporate a bit of style and the evolution of another instrument strings, oud, which was introduced by the Moors more than six hundred years later. Around the same time as the lute, popular in Scandinavia, it became very popular.
The lute has more in common with six-string guitar, and who also had the same six channels, but the back of the Lute was bent, generating a different acoustic sound. The Viking hero known, Gunther, is represented by a lute, like the Scandinavian Vikings the instrument very well, and has been represented in many sculptures of this period. The lute and the catheter was in two guitar like instruments, but with different sounds, making the Moorish guitar was popular throughout the 13th century, and the guitarra latina, which is more similar to the guitar than we think.
