Fun fact, most people say this is the closest thing to the everyday guitar but there's an instrument that is much closer that barely nobody knows about. The vihuela is a purely Spanish instrument from the renaissance period that is extremely similar to the guitar as we know it today. See, the baroque guitar is a 5 course instrument whilst the Vihuela is a 6 course instrument just like the guitar. The baroque guitar, much like a theorbo, has a way of tuning that in Spain we call campanella that makes it easy to make fast scales and melodies without moving many fingers, even if cool, the guitar is not typically tuned with campanella in mind, rather it takes a similar approach to the renaissance lute, the vihuela has the same tuning as a renaissance lute which makes it only a half step away on the third string to be the same distance ratios as the guitar. The shape is also more round while the baroque guitar has a more elongated design. Sadly this instrument is only, and barely, known in Spain, which is sad because the vihuela has a beautiful and sweet sound perfect for solo playing and melodies, its sound is less metallic than a lute's and less rough than a baroque guitar's. Be sure to give it a search as its a beautiful instrument that sadly didn't get enough international fame as I think it should've.
