I'm at 4:37 on the video, and he's talking about why the oud doesn't have frets. I guess I'm hungry and cranky, because I want to ask him, "How about talking about the history of the guitar?"

What is a guitar? The expert asks but doesn't answer.

a wooden instrument that's hollow inside
has six strings
has a nut at one end and a bridge at the other
has frets
plays western scales

If it's solid and takes electricity, it's not a guitar, it's an electric guitar.

He talks about "tons of lute-like instruments" leading up to the guitar so the door is open to the oud and everything else. :)
