I've recently started playing the acoustic guitar.
Thats cool. Are you any good? The sounds produced by the guitar by transmitting the vibration of the strings to the air is just a beautiful sound.
I'm getting better, slowly but surely. It's surprisingly difficult to play, for such a popular instrument.
Well keep at. It takes a lot of practice but you'll get there. You picked the right instrument though in my opinion as I like the sound from the strings of an acoustic guitar resonate through the guitar's body
The acoustic guitar really does sound very beautiful. It's well-suited for so many different musical styles, too. Very versatile instrument.
Very true. The modern shape of the guitar as we know it came about in the renaissance era 
I had no clue that the guitar's history went back so far. Did it derive from the lute or something? I don't know much about old instruments haha
Lute
A lute () is any plucked string instrument with a neck (either fretted or unfretted) and a deep round back enclosing a hollow cavity, usually with a sound hole or opening in the body. More specifically, the term "lute" can refer to an instrument from the family of European lutes. The term also refers generally to any string instrument having the strings running in a plane parallel to the sound table (in the Hornbostel–Sachs system). The strings are attached to pegs or posts at
Acoustic guitar
An acoustic guitar is a guitar that produces sound acoustically by transmitting the vibration of the strings to the air—as opposed to relying on electronic amplification (see electric guitar). The sound waves from the strings of an acoustic guitar resonate through the guitar's body, creating sound. This typically involves the use of a sound board and a sound box to strengthen the vibrations of the strings. In standard tuning the guitar's six strings are tuned (low to high) E A D G B E.
