In the 17th century or the Baroque period of strings (string) guitars are added into five of each - each string pairs, it allows the players to play music that is more complex and extensive.In the late 17th century two important changes made in this instrument are:
1.sebelumnya each - each string pairs (doubles) is now replaced by strings - single strings.2.sebelumnya has five strings is now added into 6 single strings which until now used.
In the classical period circa 1750 - 1775 delivered many composers - including well-known guitar composers Fernando Sor, Mauro Giuliani, Matteo Carcassi, D. Fernando Aguado and Carulli. They wrote the music and often hold concerts - guitar concerts in various places. At that time the guitar is very popular musical instrument and interest many people.There was also an addition to Nicolo Paganini's famous violin player who works well as a guitar player - his work is still often heard today.
In the late 19th century the instrument falling prestige and a lot of people are not familiar with this instrument, but then popularized again by Francisco Tarrega which is a great composer of classical guitar. A lot of work - his music is very famous among other things: Recuerdos de la Alhambra, Estudio Brillante, Capricho Arabe, and many more. He also wrote and devised a method for teaching guitar and teaching methods is becoming the standard of teaching in classical guitar lessons until now. He also taught and not a few of his students who became great composers like himself whom was Miguel Llobet.Francisco Tarrega
In addition to the composer - composer of guitar there is also a designer guitar instrumental in the development of this instrument is luthier Antonio Torres. He tried to increase the size of the guitar and try to improve the sound to be louder guitars and harmony. He perfected many forms of guitar, as he makes the guitar neck is wider and thinner than the previous guitar shape. He also makes a standard guitar strings with a length of 65 cm which is still in use. From the results of this experiment that made the guitar is a standard modern guitar used until now. In addition to Torres before there is also a man named who in addition to the famous Stradivarius violins are also adept at making a guitar.
In 1946 the strings that were previously made from the Gut (rope made of animal intestines) were replaced with strings made of nylon (nylon string). By wearing the nylon string sound produced bigger and better.
Guitar musical instrument continues to grow until now and has become an instrument of the world. The number of players, teachers, composers, and the guitar maker is currently very much, the school - the school and the course is also easy to find guitars in every place even now there is also a magazine - a magazine devoted to the guitar. Since the development of science and technology so rapidly, do not miss the guitar also affected and now we have known that his name Electric Guitar (Electric Guitar).
Electric Guitar History
Electric guitar history began in 1930, when a man named George Beauchamp began looking for ways to increase the volume of the guitar. Known if a given wire in a magnetic field then the force can create an electrical current. On the basis of this thinking he researched and conducted an experiment with a phonograph needle (basically this technology can be found on the motors - electric motors, generators, phonograph needles, radio and mic). He believes that if the strings vibrated near the magnetic field will be converted into electrical currents and then converted back into sound waves through speakers.
After trial months - months and worked with Paul Barth is created the first simple pickup consists of 6 poles and each - each pole for each - each string. Pickup coils are rolled neatly contained. According to the story, he took the coil out of the washer and melilitnya back with a sewing machine motor. His discovery is greatly appreciated and obtain patents.
With this discovery the next step He is looking for people who want to work together and help in the matter of funding. He contacted his friend Adolph Rickenbacher had at the National String Instrument Company where he worked. They worked together and formed a company with a name Instrumens Rickenbachers. Eventually they began producing the first electric guitar called "The Frying Pan" (perhaps because of his guitar body is made from the pan). This is what makes the company they are written into history as the first factory to make and manufacture electric guitars.
Furthermore, a man named Lloyd Loar introduces a model-shaped electric guitar Spanish guitar. He is considered to be the first to create and market a guitar of this model. He has been doing a lot of trial - the trial began early 1920 and in 1933 founded the company with the name Vivi - Tone which is a subsidiary of the Gibson Company. The company manufactures electric guitar with a Spanish guitar company in one year but this does not work. From this failure, eventually inspired the Gibson Company to attempt to continue creating an electric guitar. Of effort - the work done is created an electric guitar the ES-150 which later became a pioneering guitar - an electric guitar next.
Electric guitar history continued in 1933 when the Alvino Rey who also worked at the Gibson Company to develop an electric guitar pickup is better than the sound quality is also altered its shape.
Behind the success of the ES-150 are still found many shortcomings, because the hollow guitar body vibrations of the guitar body also arrested the pickup so it would sound on an amplifier. Besides frequent feedback and voices unwanted. Because it is a famous jazz guitarist Les Paul introduces new solutions to make solid body guitars and not hollow. At last he had succeeded in building a solid body guitar and sound good without feedback or noise - unwanted sound. In addition, adding a pickup on his guitar into two entities.In 1946 he brought his guitar to the Gibson but was rejected on the grounds of consumers are less interested in the solid body guitar. He was disappointed that he pioneered efforts ultimately failed.
Shortly afterwards a man named Leo Fender believe that the guitar made by Les Paul with a solid body guitar will be much in demand by consumers. Finally in 1943 he made solid body guitar made of wood oak trees and rent them out to the musicians to get a lot of support. Finally, in 1949 Leo Fender to get success with the model of solid body guitars and get the award.
Seeing the success of Leo Fender solid body guitar the Gibson Company Finally back to see examples of Les Paul guitars and re mendisainnya. In 1952 it was decided to produce a solid body guitar and become an industry standard. Although his inspiration came from Les Paul Gibson guitar that we now know is named after the company name.
In 1961, Ted McCarty introduced the ES-335 a semi-hollow guitar that is a combination of hollow guitars and solid body guitars. It quickly became popular guitars used by guitarists - including the jazz guitarist BB King and Chuck Berry.
Gibson and Fender guitar maker is a company that has been credited with developing this instrument, especially an electric guitar with the design - a futuristic design. Both guitars have become the standard for musicians, as we now know the Gibson SG or Fender Stratocaster.Setelah two companies have successfully developed an electric guitar, then start many emerging companies - companies that manufacture electric guitars until now.
