The Spanish Guitar was introduced on the establishment of British rule in India. The English musicians used to play Guitar in Orchestra at the time of singing and dancing. The Indian young generation received the knowledge of Spanish Guitar through English Schools. Though the Spanish Guitar was used only for playing chords, it lacks to produce complete tune of any song but even then this instrument was used to balance the rhythm. An enchanting sweetness is produced if chords are played in proper rhythm and it gives great pleasure to the audience.

The harmony and rhythm play the prominent role in English orchestra and they are considered to be the base of singing and dancing. In foreign music the time movement is limited by two beats time, three beats time, and four beats time. The Spanish Guitar is light and attractive instrument. It is played with plastic piece and chords are played with an application of pressure of fingers over the strings.

In 1877 the Spanish Guitar was reshaped into Hawaiin Guitar by giving it a steel belley and steel strings in place of guts to produce notes. The use of Electric appliances to Hawaiin Guitar has made it more attractive. Now a special Electric Guitar in new style came in practice.

In reality this nerw electric Guitar is a modified mini form of Vichitra Vbeena which, is a prominent instrument in Indian Classical music with some differences.
