Introduction

In this lesson, we will build and program a Guitar robot! How could it play music?

The guitar’s origins trace back over 3,000 years to ancient instruments like the oud in the Middle East and the lute in Europe. By the Renaissance, the guitar had evolved into a popular instrument with four double strings, later expanded to six single strings in the 18th century. In the 20th century, innovations like the steel-string acoustic and the electric guitar transformed it into one of the most influential instruments in modern music.
