I was in a band in college where I played the guitar.  It's my favorite instrument
Do you play the guitar.  My niece was learning how to play.  She was playing pretty good too.  The sound is a nice acoustic mix
I started by playing the acoustic, but my uncle gave me an electric so I play both now
What do you prefer?  she is pretty good at plucking the strings and strumming and just coming up with her own tunes
I personally prefer the electric.  I have a vintage Guild and the sound is incredible
wow thats really neat.  I read that the modern guitar was preceded by something called the gittern, the vihuela, the four course Renaissance guitar, and the five course baroque guitar
That's so cool!  I've never heard of those.  I wonder how they differ from the guitars we know now?
It said that they all contributed in some way to the modern 6 string instrument we have today
Do you know what year the original gittern was invented?
Gittern
The gittern was a relatively small gut strung round-backed instrument that first appears in literature and pictorial representation during the 13th century in Western Europe (Iberian Peninsula, Italy, France, England). It is usually depicted played with a quill plectrum, as we can see clearly beginning in manuscript illuminations from the thirteenth century.  
It was also called the guiterna in Spain, guiterne or guiterre in France, the chitarra in Italy and quintern in Germany. A popular instrument with court musicians, minstrels, and amateurs
the band have claimed that this is their favorite track, including Pat Wilson. Cuomo stated that initially the song "started out as a really standard pop song called 'bad girl' and had a verse and a chorus and bridge and all that stuff. And I just wasn't satisfied with it. It was too normal. So one day I sat down with my acoustic guitar and I just played [this] song over and over, on basically looping it. My fingers hurt so much, I just kept playing
