Welcome to
AMERICAN MOSAIC -- VOA's radio magazine in Special English.
This is Doug
Johnson. On our program today:
We play electric
guitar music ...
Our VOA listener
question this week comes from Vietnam. Long Quang Bui asks about the musical
instrument called the electric guitar.
Music experts say
the guitar is probably the most popular musical instrument around the world
today. It is used to play many different kinds of music.
The electric
guitar was one result of efforts by musicians to use electricity to create
louder string instruments. They were not able to solve some of the technical
problems until the nineteen-thirties. Les Paul was among the first to play an
electric guitar. Listen to one of his hit recordings, "Meet Mister
Callaghan."
In its early
years, music experts debated the idea of the electric guitar being a true
instrument. Some claimed it did not produce a real musical sound. But country
and jazz musicians defended the music made by the electric guitar.
One of these
defenders was jazz man Charlie Christian. Music experts say he created the
sound of the electric guitar that led to the modern electric guitar music of
today. Listen to a recording of Charlie Christian playing with the Benny
Goodman jazz group in nineteen-thirty-nine. The song is "Flying
Home."
One modern
electric guitar player who followed Charlie Christian is the world famous blues
musician B. B. King. He calls his guitar "Lucille". We leave you now
with B. B. King and Lucille playing their famous recording, "The Thrill Is
Gone."
