In a wide-ranging exploration of the cultural significance of the electrical guitar, Waksman focuses on key performers who have shaped the use and meaning of the instrument: Charlie Christian, Les Paul, Chet Atkins, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin. 23 halftones.
Around 1930, a group of guitar designers in Southern California fitted instruments with an electromagnetic device called a pickup and forever changed the face of popular music. This is the first full account of the historical and cultural significance of the electric guitar.
