Hello everyone.

is it correct to say :

guitarra arabe

or

guitarra arabia?

when we are discribing arabic music p-l-a-y-e-d on guitar.

thanx in advance for your help.

if you refer to the music and not the guitar, you will have to use a longer phrase like:

música árabe ejecutada en guitarra or música árabe en guitarra

if you say "guitarra" and then place "árabe or de Arabia", you are referring to the type of guitar, not the music.
Hope it helps!
