The Origins and History of Guitar The guitar is an ancient musical instrument; its history can be traced back to at least 4,000 years ago. Some theories have claimed that the guitar is an ancient development of the ancient Greek kithara and/or the lute. Dr. Michael Kasha’s research in the 1960’s showed that the “lute” shared common ancestors with the guitar but a separate development and had no possible effect on the guitars evolution. There is however evidence on the “kithara” theory.
