Guitar is one of the very popular musical instruments from abroad that made its enchanting way to the Indian heart. Spain (Europe) is the land of its birth. Played there in the carnivals, it is essentially an instrument to convey the player's ecstatic delight. It is mainly an instrument of accompaniment, though its electric version's virtuosity has won the hearts of many connoisseurs of Indian classical music.
Guitar is a very popular musical instrument. Though foreigner by birth, it has adapted itself, especially the electric version, very well to the climates of Indian music. Despite the limitation of its original version to play full tunes, its lilting sound took it to universal fame, specially in a part, song or picnic soirees, all over the world. Guitar is as dear a companion of its player as his sweetheart. Spellbound by the mellifluous tonal qualities, the musicians went on with their experiments on the instrument and emerged sonorously with its electric version, encompassing all the nuance-playing capabilities of the intricate system. In Indian classical music-whether it is Van Shipley playing the Western or filmi tunes or Braj Bhushan Kabra regaling the audience in the national programme of music - Guitar commanded equal respect and popularity. Easier to play than many classical Indian music-playing instruments and more melodious than its many Western brethren, this instrument forms a tuneful confluence of both the streams of music: Western and Indian.
