Acoustic bass guitar

The Electric Guitar was invented in the early 1900’s. It was the new kind of guitar which sound through an amplifier, which is powered by electricity. Many brands soon made electric guitars of their own to sell, brands such as Gibson, Fender, Martin, etc. They had made electric guitars with a distinct style and sound. Some were common and affordable and some were expensive and rare. Many famous acclaimed bands and musicians…

into the ever-so-charming wordsmith that is Courtney Barnett. The singer-songwriter out of Melbourne, Australia is known for her quirky lyrics, her soft-spoken vocals, and her carefree guitar pop-rock sensibilities. “Pedestrian at Best” may be Barnett’s loudest work to date. It’s muddled with brash and aggressive guitar playing, topped off with Barnett’s static-heavy vocals. It’s a 90s Nirvana and grunge fan’s dream. She opens the song with the lyrics: “I love you, I hate you, I’m on the…

The very first electronic amplifiers were made for guitars and the first guitar amplifier didn’t appear until the 1930’s, when an amplifier for the Hawaiian steel guitar was developed. Most people believe the first guitar amp was a fender, however some research suggests it was a ford, made when an electrolytic capacitor tube was made with a built in power supply that was now able to be plugged into walls. These amplifiers had terrible bass and treble and the only controls allowed for treble…

to the warmth of the fireplace and listened to my stepdad strum the guitar. I was instantly entranced by what he was playing. Some blues melody that had me engrossed. Looking back the desire to play the guitar, had really just come from me looking up to my stepdad as a father figure, and perhaps wanting reciprocate what he was doing. Whatever the case, I asked if I could try. He handed me the rustic, vintage looking acoustic guitar. I was immediately plagued with my small, limited six year old…

years old and they are now in their late seventies so they have quite the knowledge and experience in seeing the evolution of music through time. The pastors are a duet, as Esther sings the beautiful songs Angel is accompanying her with a classic acoustic guitar. In this special service, they were not the only one participating but also other singers…

where I get to pass on the ultra-useful and sometimes strange bits of information that make life easier in certain situations. I love pocketing tricks of the trade. They are often hard-won and well worth the effort. If the wire wound strings on the guitar produce too much squeaking when the guitarist moves his fingers to grab his next chord, try using some “Fingerease” string lubricant. This tones down those squeaks and even helps to preserve the strings. Some folks love this stuff. Others hate…

outside and sitting on the lawn at the DTE Music Center to enjoy some relaxing tunes. Jack Johnson is classified as a folk and acoustic rock musician, however I compare him between a calmer version of John Mayer and Jason Mraz combined. He plays an acoustic electric guitar, but his guitar playing skills are nowhere near as good as his writing skills. He plays basic guitar chords, but his lyrics make the music. His style is very mellow and relaxed. It’s the kind of music you listen to while…

closely resemble the modern guitar, others look as if they are an entirely different instrument. While no one knows which instrument directly influenced it, there are many theories. One of the most interesting things about the guitar is how many different playing styles there are. The types of guitars we have now took shape sometime in the 19th century and brought with it many different styles of music and variations of the guitar. Four thousand years is how far back guitar can be traced, but…

When Mastodon came on the bass player came out with his hands held high above his head shouting at the crowd. They then began playing their set opening with Oblivion, off their album they just came out with. I really started paying attention to guitars when the guitar player, Brent Hinds, brought out his see through Flying V guitar. It was one of the most amazing guitars I had ever seen. I left that night feeling pretty good. For it being my first…
