Morphology
The meaning 'a person who plays the guitar' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'guitar' (the instrument) with 'player' (a person who plays). This head-modifier nominal compound is a common, cross-linguistic pattern and would be immediately clear to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Guitar player comes from a simple picture: a guitar is the string instrument and a player is someone who plays it, so you can imagine a person holding a guitar and using their hands to make music. That's why it means 'a person who plays the guitar', usually as a musician.
