Electric Bass

ok... i think that i've been talking to much about guitars. So, now i'm going to vary the instruments and talk about the electric bass.

The electric bass guitar (a.k.a electric bass and bass) it's pronounced like "base" not bass as in bass fish. The bass is a stringed instrument and is played primarily with the thumb or the fingers ( by plucking, slapping, popping, tapping or thumping), or by a pick.

The bass guitar is very similar to the normal electric guitar but the bass' neck is longer and its scales too and it also has only 4 to 6 strings ( the normal basses...). The sound of the bass guitar is one octave lower than a regular guitar and its string notes go like this ( E [mi], A [la], D [re] and G [sol])

Note: For the electric bass to be heard a amplifier is needed...

Yes i do play the bass and the acoustic guitar and the electric guitar.

I personally prefer the bass than the acoustic guitar. I like the deep sound that it makes, also i like all the cool techniques you have to learn in order to perfect the playing.

it is proved the the bass is the electric instrument that takes the most time to learn and perfect.

so this is it....

Semi-acoustic Guitars

The Semi-acoustic guitars are electic guitars with a hollow body. They have both a sound box and a eletric pickup.
The semi-acoustic guitars are not the same as electric acoustic guitars so be careful!! Electric acoustic guitars are acoustic guitars that you can plug it into a amplifier but there is no pickup needed in this instrument.
They have a beautiful look and are classy and incredible. I say that they are incredible because their jazz and blues sound is very clean and serene.
I would personally love to have one of these guitars, for its look and its use. This guitar can be played with a amplifier our without.

Some examples of Semi-Acoustic Guitars:

Gibson 59' ES-335Ibanez AF125
Pretty right?? ahahah

Gibson SG

Gibson SG's History:

In the 60's it seemed that the Gibson Les Paul was not so popular to compete against the fender stratocaster and the fender telecaster. So the Gibson Guitar Cooperation company revolutionized the old les paul into a new inovating, cheaper, thinner, lighter and practical guitar. Mr. Les Paul was offended with this new style of guitar (which included 2 horns) so he chose not to put his name on the new guitar. So, the new guitar was called SG (or solid guitar). This guitar was created in 1961 so its first model is the Gibson '61 SG.

How The Beatles Destroyed Rock n' Roll

Elijah Wald has written a book about "how the beatles destroyed rock n' roll".
He states that rock and roll before the beatles were all about:

• dancing
• doing live shows
• women going to shows
• and considered a "black" genre of music

after the boys from liverpool, rock n' roll became:

• mostly for record listning
• just listling
• mostly men going to the shows
• and considered a white genre music.

I think that it is a very interesting approach to thinking about the beatles history. Everyone always says how they revolutionized music and make everything beautiful, but that's only like that because it is told by fans not by the real information.
I have no option but to agree because they are vivid facts about the beatles music and it is very interesting to look at history like that.
Most people would have never thought about this fact, just like caroline kurzweil. I told her about this and she scold at me saying I was wrong and that it was impossible that the beatles destroyed rock. Mathias Brotero disagreed with the facts but after we explained the facts clearly he understood and "accepted" the facts.
