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."
