And I need to answer such questions like How has the guitar (as an instrument) changed over time? How has the guitar defined modern music? And what made the guitar so popular? If anyone could give me ideas, or point me towards any good websites that would be able answer these questions, I would appreciate it greatly, thanks in advance, Chris You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

As far as I am concerned you have a huge task to uncover for guitar. Its an old instrument. Just putting up history of guitar in google will probably give you about 50,000 pages of information on this. Make sure that you are crediting a smart man or a well documented research not just an opinion of some kid in a forum. Sight your articles and writers. Don't plagiarize and copy and paste quotes in your paper. Be sure to quote the guy who said them. Good Luck. Its a great paper to write but are you up to the challenge of getting info into this?

Anyway it includes a chapter on the history of the guitar and another on the influence of the guitar on modern music amongst other things. Try and see if you can get a look at/borrow a copy as it could help. If you can't find this book there's bound to be others aimed at the coffee table/Xmas present type market on the shelves in Waterstones. Cheers, Tony ps it's kind of nostalgic flicking through this - you guys would love some of the pictures of the guitar synths and stuff from the 70s .
