I guessed it has to do with cases but in other courses a new case is presented before it’ s used

Because it is in plural. Мая is the singular feminine. Compare with the french 'ma' vs 'mes'.

Because eсть is implied. It is seldom used in Russian. If anything, you could say something like "гитара лежит на столе" (my apologies for possible misspelling)

Seldom in this context only, or seldom always? Considering I have seen a lot of 'у меня есть (...)' popping up.
There is water on the plate - В тарелке вода.
My guitar is on the desk- Моя гитара на столе.
Which one is used for 'on'? В or На? I thought В meant the word 'in'? Like in the taxi ( В такси)?
It would be great if Duolingo taught us the genders if nouns before they quizzed us on it

my answer: моя гитара стоит на столе. This is considered an error. Shows the correct answer: моя гитара лежит на столе. Why? Стоит or лежит? These are the two correct answers. Although there is another third correct answer: Моя гитара на столе.
