The History of the Guitar

A comprehensive look through time to discover how the
iconic rock and roll instrument got to where it is now

Welcome to the history of guitar!

Welcome to the modern subpage! This section will go over the most recent history of guitar and the widespread availability of the guitar as an instrument from the past 100 years.

The next decades after Elvis would all have their own style associated with them. Every 10 years or so a new style of music would take hold. For example, the 50's had rock and roll, the 60's had psycadelic music, the 70's had disco, the 80's had synth music and metal, the 90's had grunge the 2000's had punk rock, and the 2010's had pop music. Below is a video of the top 15 guitar solos of all time. And thank you for visiting my webpage! Just remember: Rock on and never stop!
