Bossa Nova Begins in Rio
In the late 1950s, Oscar Castro-Neves was part of the emerging bossa nova movement alongside Antônio Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto. At 16, his composition “Chora Tua Tristeza” became a national hit in Brazil, recorded by over 50 artists. In 1962, at age 22, he performed at the historic bossa nova concert at Carnegie Hall, a pivotal moment which introduced the genre to the United States.
Bossa Nova Pioneer Oscar Castro-Neves
Brazilian guitarist, arranger, and composer Oscar Castro-Neves plays the Antonio Carlos Jobim classic “Waters of March” (Águas de Março) on the Ramsey Lewis Legends of Jazz series on PBS.

The guitar’s history spans over 4,000 years, evolving from stringed instruments like the tanbur and setar in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt. A direct ancestor is the Middle Eastern oud, a fretless, pear-shaped instrument introduced to Europe during the 8th century.
By the 13th century, instruments like the guitarra latina and guitarra morisca appeared in Spain. The Renaissance saw the development of the vihuela and the four-course guitar, with four pairs of strings, popular in Europe for accompaniment and solo performance.
The Baroque period introduced the five-course guitar, with ornate designs and gut strings. It was widely used in courts and by composers like Gaspar Sanz. During this era, tuning evolved toward the modern standard.
Spanish luthier Antonio de Torres revolutionized the guitar in the 1850s by designing the larger, fan-braced body that became the template for modern classical guitars. His designs improved volume and tone, making the guitar a serious concert instrument.
The 1930s marked the birth of the electric guitar, driven by the need for louder instruments in jazz and big band music. Leo Fender and Les Paul pioneered solid-body designs. The 1950s Fender Stratocaster and Gibson Les Paul became iconic, thus shaping rock, blues, and pop music. Today, guitars are central to countless genres—from flamenco to metal. Advances in amplification, effects pedals, and digital modeling continue to expand the instrument’s versatility.

Jimi Hendrix

Brian May’s “Old Lady”
One of the most famous guitars was hand-built by Queen’s lead guitarist and his father in the 1960s. Built over 18 months in a home workshop, the “Red Special” cost around £8 to build (about $200 today). The legendary guitar went on to great fame, powering hits like “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Will Rock You,” and “Killer Queen.”
Queen Guitarist Brian May
Listen to Queen guitarist Brian May on Absolute Radio telling the story of how he built the famous Red Special guitar with his engineer father, using salvaged materials. Here’s what one reviewer had to say: I don’t think people realize how incredible this is. This is like saying “I couldn’t afford a space shuttle so I built one with my dad.”

Guitarist and Innovator Les Paul The guitar is such a personal thing. It’s an extension of your fingers, your thoughts, your feelings. You can’t just plug a guitar into an amplifier and expect it to sound good. It’s all about the touch and the feel. When you get a groove going, time flies.
