HISTORIA DE LA GUITARRA CLASICA

HISTORIA DE LA GUITARRA CLASICA

The guitar is part of the family of string instruments and it can be said that, today, it is the most widespread instrument in the world. Its origins are not very clear. There are theories that defend that the predecessor instrument of the guitar was introduced in Spain during the invasion of the Arabs in the 8th century. However, other theories defend that its origins date back to the time of the Greeks, who created an instrument with a certain appearance to the current guitar although with straight edges and 4 strings that was copied and modified by the Romans. Which was later introduced in Spain around 400 BC. On the other hand, there are documents that prove that at the time of the Hittites (1,300 BC), there was already a 4-stringed instrument that, in addition, had curved edges. And there are also indications of the existence of a guitar-like instrument with smooth, curved sides in Egyptian culture. Whatever its origin, it was at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century when the first guitar appeared with an appearance very similar to the current classical guitar, from which the other guitars that exist today have been derived (acoustic , electrical, etc.). Manufacturers such as Antonio Torres stand out, who implemented the fan-shaped reinforcements design at the bottom of the lid and introduced a larger box, although of the same weight and with wider curves back in 1780. Shifted the bridge to a higher position and increased the depth of the box. Today most manufacturers use the modifications introduced by Torres.

COMO OBTUVE MI PRIMERA GUITARRA

Aunque siempre me gustó cantar, no siempre tuve claro si quería o no tocar algún instrumento, eran mis padres los que siempre insistían en que aprendiera a tocar cuatro. Antes de comenzar con la guitarra incluso probé con el piano y la batería. Y no fue sino hasta que ya no tenía oportunidad para comprarla que me decidí por la guitarra. la cosa es que, cuando descubrí que podía escribir canciones, me era difícil al momento de crear lograr que otra persona captara las cosas que habían en mi mente. Fue entonces que ayudado por guitartuna (Una app para afinar guitarras) fui poco a poco aprendiendo acordes y con pena pero con ganas comencé a aprender con una guitarra prestada. Durante 3 meses usé una guitarra prestada hasta que tuve que devolverla. Les hablo de 2017. Durante el siguiente año aproveché cada oportunidad para recordar y tratar de no olvidar las cosas que había aprendido, pero aún así seguía siendo un reto. Mi oído musical ha sido fundamental en todo mi aprendizaje, doy muchísimas gracias a Dios, por los dones que me ha dado. En 2019 utilicé una Guitarra Electro-Acústica Epiphone (también prestada) durante 3 meses igual, aproveché al máximo cada momento con ella, me acompañó en muchas presentaciones y con ella aprendí mucho también. Pero nuevamente al devolverla me sentí como una persona que pierde una parte del cuerpo. Y en medio de todo, buscando como seguir aprendiendo y surgir en la música, junto a mi compañero Hive account@edixonjimenez (a quien amo mucho) entramos a ver clases con mis talentosísimos profesores Hive account@danieldedosd2 y Hive account@mariajruizb. Estando en la cátedra, uno de los miembros decide irse del país y a un precio de locos, venderme su guitarra. La guitarra que al principio no me pareció gran cosa, estaba deteriorada, sucia y sin cuerdas. Pero me pareció una oportunidad que no podía despreciar, así que en febrero de 2020 unos días antes del boom de la pademia, al fin se acabó la espera, ya tenía mi propia Guitarra. Hecha en IHOWA y verde. Pasó un tiempo para que pudiera restaurarla casi al 100% pero gracias a la ayuda de mis compañeros en el mundo de la música, hoy tengo cuerdas, una guitarra que me acompaña a cada sitio al que voy.

Although I always liked singing, it was not always clear to me whether or not I wanted to play an instrument, it was my parents who always insisted that I learn to play cuatro. Before I started on the guitar, I even tried the piano and drums. And it wasn't until I no longer had a chance to buy it that I decided on the guitar. The thing is, when I discovered that I could write songs, it was difficult for me at the time of creating to get another person to capture the things that were in my mind. It was then that, helped by guitartuna (An app to tune guitars) I was gradually learning chords and with regret but with enthusiasm I began to learn with a borrowed guitar. For 3 months I used a borrowed guitar until I had to return it. I tell you about 2017. Over the next year I took every opportunity to remember and try not to forget the things I had learned, but it was still challenging. My musical ear has been fundamental in all my learning, I thank God very much for the gifts he has given me. In 2019 I used an Epiphone Electro-Acoustic Guitar (also on loan) for 3 months, I made the most of every moment with it, it accompanied me in many presentations and with it I learned a lot too. But again when I returned it I felt like a person losing a part of the body. And in the middle of everything, looking for how to continue learning and emerge in music, together with my partner Hive account@edixonjimenez (who I love very much) we went to see classes with my very talented teachers @ danieldedosd2 and Hive account@mariajruizb. While in the chair, one of the members decides to leave the country and at a crazy price, sell me his guitar. The guitar, which at first didn't seem like a big deal to me, was worn, dirty and without strings. But it seemed to me an opportunity that I could not ignore, so in February 2020 a few days before the boom of the pademic, the wait was finally over, I already had my own guitar. Made in IHOWA and green. It took a while for me to restore it to almost 100% but thanks to the help of my colleagues in the world of music, today I have strings, a guitar that accompanies me every place I go.
