The historical precursors to the modern guitar, the European Lute and the Spanish Guitarra, were both derived from the four-string Oud, brought to Iberia by the Moors in the 8th century.... The Arabic al-'ud, meaning "the wood", is the etymological root of the words "wood" and "lute". Below, you'll find my audio samples and links to sites of considerable & relevant interest.
