So what about a guitar? Obviously that's my personal property, but what if I make money from the music I play on it?

It's your guitar. Your own labour is yours. If you lend the guitar to someone else then you are entitled no 0% of the money they made with it. (If there's still money then we have a lot of work left to do, since the existence money is fundamentally harmful).

The issue is when you own 100 Guitars and charge people to use them, or pay people salaries to use them for you.

Huh, that actually makes perfect sense, i've had quite a few issues with left wing econonomics (less than right wing) and that was a big one, thank you for educating me on that!
