  • Guitar Body Shapes May 14, 2020
    Guitar Virtual Learning Guitar Body Shapes May 14, 2020 Guitar Lesson: May 14, 2020 Objective/Learning Target: What different guitar shapes are there, and what are the differences between those shapes? Warm-Up Activity Watch the following video by YouTuber “Minor7thb5” (which is a music theory reference!). In it, he plays the same piece of music two times with two different guitars. The guitars are of similar build quality and materials, but they are different shapes. One is a parlor guitar and the other is a dreadnaught. How do they sound different to you? These differences are subtle. It might be easier to hear by using headphones. 2nd Warm-Up Activity These were the two guitars he played. The one on the left is an Eastman parlor guitar, the one on the right is a Martin dreadnought. How do they look different? How do they look the same? Guitar Shapes For the lesson today, we are going to do a brief overview of the different guitar shapes and styles you can find today. This lesson will build on the lessons from earlier in the week where we discussed the differences between classical, steel-string, and electric guitars. Now, we will see what different body shapes there are, especially for the steel-string and electric guitars, and what makes them different! A Brief history of guitar shapes The word “guitar” comes from the Greek word “kithara,” which shows up in Greek mythology from thousands of years ago. These stringed instruments didn’t look much like our guitars now, but they were strummed like our guitars.

A day with Walden It's 9 a.m. at the biggest pub in Estonia, in the biggest summer resort in the country, but it's raining, the room is filled with harmonicas and lederhosen, we've been driving since 6 o'clock, and the coffee machine is broken. Our harmonica festival shows aren't scheduled to start before the evening but our harpist has insisted on entering the competition; Indrek's jittery and I'm sleepy, yet he walks away with silver. A fellow musician points to my T550 and says: "The bass lines were pre-recorded, right?" "Nah, just me and my Walden." Dennis, the American whom we're to back that evening, is still recovering from a late night, so we're off for pancakes in the rain. Ten hours later Dennis and I are on the concert hall stage with my guitar partner Martin, winging it in front of TV cameras and trying to look as worried as the black-tie audience. "I learned a new song tonight," Dennis brags backstage. "We learned two," I shoot back. "Well, I'll have two more for you tomorrow," he grins. A grey-haired gentleman in an impeccably white suit walks up and says,"Thank you very much!

  • ACOUSTIC Waterloo WL-12 the Waterloo Line from Collings Guitars Seeks to Evoke the Small-Bodied Soul of Pre- War Acoustics
    ACOUSTIC Waterloo WL-12 The Waterloo line from Collings Guitars seeks to evoke the small-bodied soul of pre- war acoustics. These are not overly ornate Waterloo WL-12 flat-tops, but simpler workhorses that put a Price: $2,200 (list) premium on sounding good. Info: www.waterlooguitars.com The WL-12 is a 12-fret acoustic fitted with an X-braced spruce top and flamed-maple back and sides, topped with an Iced Tea Santa Cruz Vintage finish, tortoise pickguard, and white top Southerner binding. The body has a width of 14.75" on Price: $5,700 (list) the lower bout and a neck scale of 24.875", Info: www.santacruzguitar.com while its rosewood fingerboard has dot inlays, vintage-styled tuners, and a drop-in saddle. Also impressive is its light weight – under 3.5 pounds. The neck is a larger D-shape that’s quite comfortable and set up with low action. One selling point is that, with the 12-fret design, the bridge sits closer to the middle of the lower bout, which endeavors to create more bass and projection. In practice, the WL-12 sounded like a fine parlor guitar, with medium bass, pleasing high-end, and a midrange akin to a resonator guitar – just right for miked-up recording, gigging, or playing on the porch. Overall, the Waterloo WL-12 is more about craftsmanship and tone than fancy finishes, and it more than delivers in that regard. Com- pared to a heavier dreadnought or jumbo, the light weight and playability of the guitar also makes the WL-12 a go-to instrument that sounds great for fingerpicking, blues, ragtime, bottleneck, country, or any kind of acoustic music you can think of.

    EXHIBITION RESOURCE PACKET Medieval to Metal: The Art and Evolution of the Guitar MEDIEVAL TO METAL: THE ART AND EVOLUTION OF THE GUITAR September 29th, 2018-January 6th, 2019 How to use this resource: This packet is designed to be flexible.

The suggested activities (page 7) should be used in conjunction with in-depth discussion of at least one related artwork. The guitar has been a signature element of world culture for more than 500 years. As the guitar’s ancestors evolved over centuries from the earliest ouds and lutes to the signature hourglass shape we all know today, guitar makers experimented with shapes, materials, and accessories, seeking the perfect blend of beauty and sound. Spanning centuries of design and craftsmanship, this exhibition takes visitors through the history of an object that is one of the most recognizable items on the planet. Art and music transcend cultural boundaries while the most recognized musical instrument—the guitar—has influenced culture beyond music. Through the years the guitar and its shape have been integral elements for artists such as Vermeer and Picasso and today they are incorporated into the advertisements of everything from clothes to car. What guitars are in the show? The following 40 guitars are included in the exhibition: Oud (North Africa) Maccaferri Plastic Lute (Europe) Silvertone 1487 Speaker

  • 18 Th and 19 Th Century Who Had an Impact on Later Developments in Jazz Guitar
    The development of the Electric Jazz Guitar in the 20 th century – by Pebber Brown One of the areas that is historically very important but sorely missing from any music texts, is that of the history of the jazz guitar and its players. In this essay, I will explore some of its early origins as an instrument and briefly look at some of the significant early guitar players of the 18 th and 19 th century who had an impact on later developments in jazz guitar. Moving into the early part of the 20 th century, I will also explore some of the influential non-classical guitarists who influenced the acceptance of the guitar as a viable jazz instrument, and lastly I will explore the importance of the invention of the electric guitar an look at some of the less well known but very important jazz guitarists of the 20 th century. Some insight into the origins of the guitar The guitar was invented many centuries ago in Spain as a predecessor of older Middle-Eastern stringed instruments such as the Zither, and the Lyre. The first guitars had less strings on them and were called "Chitarra." These instruments were played up until the 17th century when the more modern "Guitarra" was invented in Spain. The Guitarra later became the "Guitar," and it made its way to Northern Europe and in England and the Netherlands they created their own version of it called the Lute. Lutes are most called "Baroque" lutes pertaining to the music played on them during the Baroque period.

  • THE RIGHT GUITAR for DIFFERENT MUSIC STYLES by Christopher Lepp
    THE RIGHT GUITAR FOR DIFFERENT MUSIC STYLES by Christopher Lepp White House of Music: Your Local Guitar Shop Why Do Guitarists Often Own More Than One Guitar? There are many reasons a guitarist might own more than one guitar. Guitars come in a variety of colors, styles, and configurations. Guitars have personality. The same make and model can have a different feel and sound so playing the one you want beforehand is paramount. Also, guitar players tend to play many different styles of music. If you want to play classical, a Spanish style guitar fits the bill. If you want to play the blues, you might be looking for a steel string acoustic or electric guitar and amp. Let’s dive in and get to know some of the different types of guitars available through White House of Music. Learn more at WhiteHouseofMusic.com or visit one of our six locations. Waukesha: 2101 N.
