    PROPERTY OF TENSTRINGS MUSIC INSTITUTE NIGERIA – www.tenstrings.org PROPERTY OF TENSTRINGS MUSIC INSTITUTE NIGERIA – www.tenstrings.org PROPERTY OF TENSTRINGS MUSIC INSTITUTE NIGERIA – www.tenstrings.org Chapter 13 Introduction Introduction to the Guitar The guitar is a very popular stringed musical instrument. This part of You’ve Got Music is mainly concerned with standard six-stringed acoustic or electric guitars; twelve string guitars are also applicable in most cases. An understanding of basic music theory, already covered in part one, would yield a deeper understanding of the lessons taught here. Different Types of Guitars Acoustic guitars Acoustic guitars are used in a variety of genres. Because of the long history of the acoustic guitar, there are many different kinds; some kinds are rarely considered guitars, such as the ukulele. The guitar is the most popular instrument in today's society. The body of the guitar is large and hollow, allowing the sounds to resonate and providing a natural means of amplification. The sound of the acoustic guitar is characterized partly by a weak sustain, meaning notes will fade after being struck. However, some master-built classical guitars ("concert guitars") feature very good sustain and excellent overall performance. Acoustic guitars are often used in performance. When the performance is in a personal setting or in an amphitheater an acoustic guitar can often be heard with no amplification. In most other performance scenarios amplification is required for the audience to be able to hear the guitar well. An acoustic guitar can be amplified by placing an amplified microphone near (possibly within several inches) the soundhole of the guitar or by installing an electric pickup in the guitar.

  • EDDIE LANG – the FORMATIVE YEARS, 1902-1925 by Nick Dellow
    167 Eddie Lang Part One_Layout 1 05/09/2013 12:07 Page 1 EDDIE LANG – THE FORMATIVE YEARS, 1902-1925 By Nick Dellow Jazz musicians who live short lives often leave the deepest impressions. There is something about their immutable youth, echoed through the sound of distant recordings, that encapsulates the spirit of jazz. One thinks of Bix and Bubber, Murray and Teschemacher, and Lang and Christian. Of these, guitarist Eddie Lang left the largest recorded testament, spanning jazz, blues and popular music generally. Whether his guitar was imparting a rich chordal support for other instrumentalists, driving jazz and dance bands with rhythmic propulsion, or providing a sensitive backing for a variety of singers, Lang’s influence was pervasive. Django Reinhardt once said that Eddie Lang helped him to find his own way in music. Like his contemporary Bix Beiderbecke, Lang’s defining role as a musician was acknowledged early on in his career, and has been venerated ever since. As is often the case with musicians who are prolific, there are gaps in our knowledge. This article attempts to address some of these, with particular attention being paid to Lang’s early career. In the second part of the article the Mound City Blue Blowers’ visit to London in 1925 is discussed in detail, and possible recordings that Lang made during the band’s engagement at the Piccadilly Hotel are outlined and assessed. More generally, Lang’s importance as a guitarist is set in context against the background of the guitar’s role in early jazz and dance music.

  • 2010 Epiphone Catalog.Pdf
    catalog 2010 Fifteen years or more ago, Epiphone instruments were being made at the same Asian guitar factories as most other competitive brands. The problem with that scenario is that it's difficult, if not impossible, to have a substantially better instrument than your competition when the parts, process and people who make them are the same. As a result, Epiphone established the first permanent presence by an American guitar brand in 1992 with the opening of our Epiphone Korea office which played a daily hands-on role in selecting and sourcing parts and materials as well as closely controlling quality. While that initial step was instrumental in moving towards continu- ous improvement and independence, Epiphone knew that ultimately it needed its own dedicated factory with its own employees. A team from Epiphone set out to change the guitar world as it was then known. Drawing on years of experience, Epiphone and Gibson U.S.A. personnel became intimately involved in facility layout, equipment design, training techniques and the establishment of quality control and by October of 2002, the Epiphone only Gibson Qingdao factory had become a reality. The effectiveness of combining Epiphone and Gibson expertise and experience with Asian production efficiencies ushered in a new era for Epiphone and brought about exceptional instruments at price points the average working musician could afford. That tradition continues today at Epiphone’s Gibson Qingdao (GQ) factory near Qingdao, China where only Epiphone instruments are crafted. To meet the growing demand for Epiphone instruments worldwide, Epiphone took another major step in 2008 with the opening of the second dedicated Epiphone factory, Epiphone Qingdao (EQ).

The sounds of the guitar – Part 2 A journey through the history of the guitar demonstrating the range of sounds now available to the modern guitarist. Christian Frederick Martin and the American flat-top After Torres the story of the guitar moves to America where highly skilled luthieres had set up shop after emigrating from Europe. Their innovations found fertile ground in a large, multicultural and growing nation. Perhaps now the most famous, C.F. Martin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Frederick_Martin founder of the Martin guitar company, trained in Vienna under Johann Georg Stauffer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Georg_Stauffer, but emigrated to America to escape the restrictions and inter-guild bickering of the European craft guild system. Martin trained as a cabinet maker and at the time the Cabinet Makers guild made guitars. However the Violin Makers guild argued that it is was the only guild with a royal mandate to make string musical instruments. Stauffer invented the six-on-a-side tuner arrangement (advantages – straight string pull over the nut and easier access to all six tuners) and a neck that could be easily adjusted for its angle to the body. It seems more than likely that Paul Bigsby, later 'copied' by Leo Fender, may have seen one of Martin's guitars built to the Stauffer pattern. C.F. Martin & Company founded in 1883, quickly developed from mimicking Stauffer's designs, to introducing innovations of its own in guitar design.

History of the Archtop An acoustic guitar is defined as a guitar that is not dependent on any external amplification. There are many types of acoustic guitars, from the classical style with nylon strings, to the flat top guitar that has a narrower neck and is designed to have more structural strength. The archtop (also called a jazz guitar) has a body that was designed by the Gibson Company based on a violin structure. This means that instead of having a flat piece of wood on the top and back of the instrument, these parts are carved with a curved shape to create a completely different sound.
