The websites that I chose for this section of the assignment are packed with this history of the
guitar and one of its most famous manufactures. The first website has a ton of general
information on the guitar such as its origin, ancestors, similar instruments, and the variety of

guitar manufactures. This website was particularly helpful because not only did it show where
they came from but it also gave me an idea of what it took for them to make some of the best
guitars that are made today.

his life, and when his career took off. The second website about Robert Johnson was equally
