3 Guitars

The guitar is an ancient and noble instrument, whose history can be traced back over 4000 years. Many theories have been advanced about the instrument's ancestry. But over the years, the guitar has been modified to fit into the cultural norms of our times. Since then, we’ve branched out further into the art form by experimenting with the instrument. With coming of age trends like the rocking sounds of an electric guitar and guitar distortion. Today we have Az Samad, Guitarist, Composer, and Educator with us to tell us more about this artform and his upcoming guitar performance alongside Hady Afro and Hor Chee Seng at No Black Tie.
