  • LGA Podcast 1 Program Notes
    The London Guitar Academy – Guitar club podcast 1 - program notes by Terry Relph-Knight, issue 1, 02/02/16 The sounds of the guitar – Part 1 A journey through the history of the guitar demonstrating the range of sounds now available to the modern guitarist. It is interesting to note that each type of guitar is closely associated with a certain style of music, the particular characteristics of each guitar type being best suited to certain styles, and the sound of each type has become inextricably linked with the tonality of these styles. Early guitars The guitar started life in Europe around the late 16th century as a small bodied 4 or 5 course instrument, a simpler alternative to the lute. The neck was short, with a long body and the scale length was relatively long at around 27 inches. The sound hole was usually covered by a parchment rose. These instruments, now referred to as the Baroque guitar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroque_guitar, were played at court, or in intimate domestic settings, often as an accompaniment to a singer. They were strung with gut strings in pairs, or courses. The use of courses – string pairs or triplets – was an attempt to increase volume, which was a problem for plucked string instruments of the time. In fact the search for volume runs throughout the history of the guitar and has lead to the electric guitar. This is not just in an attempt to be heard. The benefit of a louder guitar is not just that it can be loud, but that it has a wide dynamic range and is more responsive to a players touch.

    Professional Troublemaker with Luvvie Ajayi Jones Love Saved Me (with Yvette Noel-Schure) - Episode 17 Released: April 27, 2021 Welcome to the Professional Troublemaker Podcast! This is the place where we help you cultivate the courage, authenticity and audacity you need to use your voice, take up space and live a life that is so bold, even your wildest dreams say #goals. I’m your host, Luvvie Ajayi Jones, New York Times bestselling author, sought after speaker and side-eye sorceress bringing you thought-provoking conversations with amazing people taken action, done scary things and rocked the boat to an audacious life. Like the late, great John Lewis said, these are the kind of people who are “Never, ever afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” For our final Archive April episode, I’m re-sharing my interview with Yvette Noel-Schure, publicist to the stars. She is the person behind Beyoncé. She's been publicist to Prince, Mariah Carey, Adele, Wyclef Jean. Her resume is insane, but also, more importantly, she's just an amazing person. Her heart, her spirit, the way her smile lights up a room. Because she is one of the loveliest people on the planet, you may not think of her as a professional troublemaker, but she has created a reputation and career as a trusted partner, as the real g who moves in silence behind a lot of your favorite musicians. That takes the confidence to stand in who you are, even when your knees feel like they are shaking and to step up and do what you need to do when it needs to be done.
