Fenny Argentinita
so it began ... History of the Electric Guitar.
Guitar Talk back to the East, Greece and Rome but not to panic. Stating nothing but what we now call guitar "sound" or English may have been the dream and a surgical approach and craft of divine rib, or all the good and bad would happen later. The truth is that after centuries of tempting-and women-both guitars huge variety of profiles, our century was changing rapidly and some others. The woman maybe a little less, because he was always master of all the harmonies and voltages, but the electric guitars are just a few years ago and then curious evolution. It began also to the sunshine of a small and secluded paradise brackish because the Hawaiian guitar or lap steel is the evolutionary link between acoustic and electric early fifties. Of course, the thing was so simple, but any story that leads to fierce Stratocaster this should begin to start, according to scholars George Gruhn and Walter Carter and pioneering in the idyllic Hawaiian guitars. According to all indications, the first electric musical instrument ever produced, the "Electric Hawaiian Guitar" Rickenbacker, was aluminum and had no españolam female line but a little less slim: that of the "pan" island Rickenbacker 1932. Only in 1935 will launch the model outside baquelita.El English with tone and did not depend on the resonance of the body, its design and materials, but the electronic aplificación. It was ideal for Hawaiian Tanod particular caused , According to naturalists, in Oahu, in the town of Laiem to 1894. It was one Joseph Kekuku who strumming using combs and knives, broke new ground early but inspired on the English guitar. Their findings grew in popularity year after year and also Hawaiian music, especially after incorporating the novelty of the mandolin in 1910 and the banjo in 1920. Even then offered all Gibson guitar models with or without "Hawaiian team" and in 1935-following Rickenbaker, presented his first lap steel. Martin produced in the same line since 1922 but with koa wood, a native tree, and in 1927 had already begun to identify their guitars with a letter H lego model number. So does the instrument Gibson Electric presented the first of January 1936 took the initials ES (Electric English), but EH (Hawaiian Electric), EH 150, and historically more accurate. Already in October 1935, Gibson had been a lap steel equipped with what became known as microphone "Charlie Christian." Failed to produce a hundred of them because the dealer body rejected the idea of \u200b\u200bmetal. You can see that the catalogs of 36 offered only wooden instruments. With the HD 185, 1940, become a "metalized" part, but it is fair to remember that in 1935, had advanced to national enter-with this brand and that of the Dobro, lap steel, aluminum. Leo Fender and Doc Kauffman began as could not credited in 1950 with his revolutionary Esquire and Broadcaster (soon Telecaster). They had entered the business under the brand K & F, both the lap steel to two, four years earlier. His first model was originally painted black. There are several reasons for dislodged conventional guitars and most obvious was that they were cheaper and easier to build. Off the power and pitch, only to lack a rigid piece of material without subtle forms, carved or caladuras. Even better, there was a market anxious sound of the new guitars, because since the 30s, his heart and soul had been penetrated with Hawaiian music and making representativa.Los performers, especially those in large groups, found that the six strings of the lap steel was a limit. Developed different tunings but no solution to the problem was and so, step models also have seven or eight strings. The following resource to go beyond the limitations of the harmonic was the extra pitches, which came to performing other tonal richness, but at the cost of increased weight of the instrument. The rule added as strings and fingerboards generated more instruments with legs and bases and two pitches of up to ten strings. The right course was another: a better mechanism of pitch change in tone. The first standing lap steel Gibson was launched in 1939, its rearward chan chan was heard in 1954 and was in charge of Bud Issac with one of the famous "Slowly." In 1950 already anticipated the requiem with the arrival of the Esquiere threatening Fender. A few years after the fever started Rock and Roll. The lap steel could adapt to new rhythm as he had done to the old blues but were not comfortable for musicians who wanted to sing and dance while guitar. For "heavy" were being attached only to country music and seemed to have no other shelter for them and, with exceptions such as the brave Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. Gibson release their last lap in 67. Valco marks (National and Supro) lasted one or two more years. In the 70s and barely contained in catalogs.
