The earliest attestation of a five-stringed guitar comes from the mid-sixteenth-century Spanish book Declaracion de Instrumentos Musicales by Juan Bermudo, published in 1555.

The classical guitar is often played as a solo instrument using a comprehensive finger-picking technique where each string is plucked individually by the player’s fingers, as opposed to being strummed.
The guitar is used in a wide variety of musical genres worldwide.
We can see this kind of naming in Setar, Tar, Dutar and Sitar.
The word “Tar” at the end of all of these words is a Persian word that means “string”.
Many influences are cited as antecedents to the modern guitar.
