- Time Based Sound Effects For Electric Guitar
by Victor Epand. One of the many different ways in which the sound produced by an electric guitar can be influenced is through the use of various time based effects. Typically a player will use a pedal, operated by foot, which will affect the sound of the guitar once pressed or rocked. These time based effect pedals work by producing a copy of the sound made by the guitar, and then plays back this copy either onc... products, articles, news
- Flattop Vs. Archtop Guitars: Sound Holes And Soundboards
by Victor Epand. Among the many divisions in the guitar family is that of flattop vs. archtop. Both terms are really quite self explanatory. A flattop guitar is one with a flat top, the part of the instrument usually referred to as the soundboard. The sound hole of a flattop guitar is found and placed under the instrument's strings. The archtop guitar, on the other hand, has an arched top and a sound hole or hole... products, articles, news
- The Portuguese Guitar: A Modern Cittern
by Victor Epand. The guitar has a seemingly endless number of incarnations, no doubt due to the instruments lengthy history and wide geographical use. One such incarnation is the Portuguese guitar, a plucked instrument with twelve strings strung in six courses of two strings each. The instrument is noticeably smaller than a standard classical guitar, has a distinctive tuning mechanism (more on this later) and its... products, articles, news
- Fretless Guitars: An Issue Of Taste
by Victor Epand. If one examines the average guitar, either electric or acoustic, one will find small raised bars running width-wise across the instrument's neck. These bars are called frets, and they are placed on stringed instruments to allow the player to accurately and consistently determine where to depress a string in order to produce the desired note. However, not all guitars use frets in the same way; in ... products, articles, news
- Pickguards: It's What's Outside That Counts
by Victor Epand. Guitars are made up of many parts and pieces. Fingerboards, soundboards, strings, headstocks-all of these components are essential to a guitar and all have an affect on the instrument's music. Yet there is at least one piece of the guitar that has absolutely no influence on the sound of the instrument: the pickguard. This piece of laminated material resides under the guitar's strings on the instr... products, articles, news
- The Sound Pressure Level Meter And You
by Victor Epand. If you've ever lived in an apartment complex, or in a college dorm for that matter, it's almost a given that at some point, you've had to deal with noise neighbors. Loud footsteps, late night vacuuming sprees, noisy parties and of course, sound systems loud enough to break your windows. And if you're like me, you've wondered, "Don't they realize how LOUD they're being?" And while it is true that ... products, articles, news
- Guitar And Lute Tab: The Apple And The Tree
by Victor Epand. If you want to be loose with your definitions, it is possible to say that guitars have existed for over five thousand years. Prior to the development of the electric guitar and the use of synthetic materials, a guitar was defined as an instrument having "a long, fretted neck, flat wooden soundboard, ribs, and a flat back, most often with incurved sides." Ancient drawings tell us that instruments ... products, articles, news
- Resonator Guitars: Biscuits, Spiders And Cones, Oh My!
by Victor Epand. More and more often these days, an instrument originally designed for one purpose or musical genre will be adopted for and adapted to a completely different area. This has been the fate of the resonator guitar, which was originally designed to be louder than a conventional acoustic guitar in order to ensure that the instrument could be heard above the horns and percussion instruments in dance orc... products, articles, news
