The author adopts a unique and evidence-based perspective, asserting that contrary to common belief, the origins of the guitar lie not in the West, but in the East—specifically, in ancient Iran. Instruments such as the oud are regarded as direct ancestors of the modern guitar.
The book aims to rediscover ancient legacies and forgotten elements of cultural heritage. It traces the evolution and transformation of the guitar in various countries and explores the significant role of Iranian civilization in the emergence and spread of the instrument.
The content is organized into several sections, including the origins of the guitar in Iran and the guitar as an instrument of Iranian heritage.
Drawing on well-documented sources, the book presents an analytical and historical account of the emergence and development of the guitar.
