Week 4

Everything About One Thing

At first I went on researching on different instruments that looks similar to a guitar

Instruments similar to Guitar

Then I got curious about the history of guitar, and dived into it.

History of Guitar

Invention of The Electric Guitar

After that I research on different types of guitars and found a few invention that happened before the electric guitar.

Types of Guitars

And that concludes my research on guitar and guitar gears history for now. I also prepared a few interview questions that I think I can ask to people from guitar or metal groups on facebook and I also think I can try to reach out to a few "not so famous" guitarists on instagram or tiktok and see if they reply back this would be really great.

These are my interview questions:

• Do you play any other instrument other than the guitar?

• What has set the guitar apart for you, why did you choose/started to play guitar?

• How many guitars do you own and why would you buy a new guitar?

• What do you consider when buying a guitar?

• Does brand matters, why do you prefer that particular brand over others?

• Does appearance also matters?
  

• What do you think of extended range guitars?

• Many people argue that 8 string guitars and 9 string guitars are ridicule because some guitarist only play on the low register on the instruments, however there are also a few who debated that it opened more room to explore on the guitar and that a few guitarists such as Tosin Abasi has shown what the instrument is cable of, what do you think about it?

• Recently there's been the appearance of 10 string guitars, do you have any thoughts on that?

• What are your thoughts on multiscale/fanned fret guitar?

• And what about headless guitar?
  

• Ok now, what do you use, do you use real amps/guitar pedals and cabinets or do you use VST plugins on a computer?

• What are your thoughts on VST plugins? Do you think they are better than real guitar gears?

• What are the advantages of using VST for you?

• Do you know about computer generated guitar plugins such as solemn tones or ample sound1?
