Earlier today I was playing a tune from the 16th century on my guitar and i saw images of large bonfires in my minds eye.
i find i often get this happening to me lately, can anyone tell me why?

Have you been smoking something?
Seriously, try drawing or painting what you see. Keep playing when the image comes, see where it leads. You may be a genius, or you may have a special message, or maybe someone is trying to contact you. It could a premonition.
Keep doing it.
Maybe the wood the guitar is made from came from a tree that was burnt, or the other part of the wood from the tree became fire wood, and the wood is mourning it, or is haunted.
Interesting.

That is the power of music... it can stir/calm emotion, inspire the imagination (hence the images) or spark memories. It can be distracting, or on the other hand, help us focus better. The mood of the music combined with whatever our minds are mulling over at the time will determine how we react to it. What a wonderful power!

I have a friend who plays guitar, quite well too but he'll only ever say he's alright at it. He says that when he plays, he doesn't see fret boards or chords but colourful images that change with every different note or chord. I think that you could just be intuitive about your playing. If it helps he's also left handed. Do you write too?

Synesthesia?
As new borns our senses are synthesized and we can't tell one from the other. We make sense of the world through our senses but when they are synthesized taste becomes sight, or sight becomes smell or sound becomes sight and so on. Most of us only keep a fraction of this ability and we put it down to evocation.
Synesthesia is our way of making sense of the world without language.

Because cognitive mind process likes to place stimuli with thoughts/images.
